I am a DevOps/Cloud Engineer with nearly 7 years of hands-on experience delivering automation, IaC, and scalable cloud platforms. I specialize in AWS and Azure, virtualization, Linux/Unix administration, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization with Docker and Kubernetes. I’ve built and managed end-to-end infrastructures across on-prem and cloud environments, including migrations from on-prem to cloud, cost optimization, and performance tuning. I excel in cross-functional teams, designing secure, resilient architectures, implementing automated patching and security hardening, and driving reliable deployments with Terraform, Jenkins, Ansible, and Git. I’m comfortable working in Agile/DevOps settings, supporting banking-grade security standards, and delivering fast release cycles while maintaining high availability.
