Available to hire
I’m a DevOps Engineer with 8+ years of experience building, optimizing, and securing cloud infrastructure, primarily on AWS. I design scalable CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments with Docker and Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code using Terraform and CloudFormation to deliver reliable, repeatable environments.
I enjoy partnering with development and QA teams to troubleshoot issues, optimize performance, and improve security, backup, and disaster recovery practices. I thrive in remote, fast-paced settings and am committed to cost efficiency and operational excellence.
