About

Professional summary

I am a DevOps Engineer with over five years of experience automating, optimizing, and securing cloud infrastructure and deployment workflows across AWS and GCP environments.

I build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for microservices, with hands-on experience using GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform. I focus on reliable, repeatable deployments that improve delivery speed and consistency.

I have strong cloud infrastructure experience across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including services such as VPC, IAM, S3, Lambda, ECS, EKS, RDS, Route 53, CloudWatch, and GKE. I use infrastructure as code to standardize environments and reduce manual provisioning effort.

I embed DevSecOps practices into delivery pipelines through SAST, DAST, container scanning, image scanning, secret detection, and CIS benchmark checks. My security tooling experience includes CodeQL, OWASP ZAP, Trivy, and Dockle.

I am experienced in observability and incident response, using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Alertmanager, and CloudWatch to create dashboards, alerts, and monitoring solutions that improve application and infrastructure reliability.

I enjoy collaborating with development teams to deliver scalable cloud-native platforms, migrate legacy workloads to containerized environments, and drive continuous improvements in operational efficiency, security, and deployment quality.
