About
I am a freelance-ready DevOps / Cloud Engineer with 6+ years building and operating Kubernetes-based platforms and CI/CD automation. I design reliable, scalable deployments by combining Linux/Ubuntu administration, Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes, and I actively troubleshoot production environments. I enjoy collaborating remotely with software engineers and QA to optimize pipelines, reduce release toil, and improve reliability, security, and resilience.
My background includes telco-grade Kubernetes distribution work and contributions to open-source Kubernetes ecosystem projects. I’m comfortable driving cost/performance optimization and implementing best practices for security, backup, and disaster recovery across cloud environments (AWS/Azure exposure) and IaC tooling (Terraform/CloudFormation). I value clear written communication and proactive stakeholder management, thriving in autonomous, remote-first roles.
