I am an IT professional with 15+ years of experience delivering scalable web infrastructure, cloud automation, and DevOps pipelines. I have spent extensive time in AWS/Azure cloud environments, automation, and infrastructure as code, helping organizations plan, migrate, and operate complex multi-account setups. I’m proficient in Python, Ruby, PowerShell, and shell scripting, and I pride myself on turning manual processes into automated, repeatable workflows while maintaining security and cost efficiency. Beyond cloud and automation, I am actively exploring AI-driven solutions, including OpenAI GPT-4 integrations, NLP tasks, and intelligent chatbots. I’ve completed AIML/ML coursework and enjoy applying AI techniques to improve user experiences and streamline operations. I’m collaborative, mentorship‑oriented, and focused on delivering reliable, scalable systems through robust SDLC practices.
