About
I am a highly self-motivated DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with 7 years of hands-on experience building and operating IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and on-prem infrastructure across AWS, Linux, Windows, and hybrid environments. I specialize in automating CI/CD pipelines, containerization, cloud-native architectures, and scalable deployments. I’m passionate about reliable, observable systems and enjoy turning complex requirements into robust, efficient platforms.
In FinTech and digital payments spaces, I’ve led migrations from monoliths to microservices, implemented strong security hardening, and created centralized monitoring (Prometheus/Grafana, New Relic, ELK) to drive data-driven decisions. I’m a collaborative team player who communicates clearly, champions best practices, and continually learns to stay ahead in fast-paced environments.
