I'm a DevOps/SRE engineer with 7+ years of IT experience, focusing on building scalable cloud infrastructures and automated CI/CD pipelines. I specialize in AWS, Azure, and container orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes, using Terraform and Ansible to provision and manage infrastructure, and I have hands-on experience migrating legacy data pipelines to cloud data warehouses. I work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable, secure systems, implement monitoring and logging with tools like CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, and maintain compliance with NIST/ISO 27001. I enjoy solving complex deployment challenges and enabling teams to ship faster with robust release automation.
