About

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineer with 7+ years of experience building and operating secure, resilient cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure. I focus on infrastructure automation and platform engineering—using Terraform/CloudFormation, Kubernetes (EKS/AKS), Docker, and CI/CD pipelines to deliver faster, more reliable deployments.

I’ve helped teams improve deployment speed, reduce infrastructure costs through FinOps, and maintain high availability with strong incident response practices. I enjoy collaborating across development, security, and operations to implement DevSecOps controls (IAM, SAST/DAST) and observability (Prometheus/Grafana/ELK/CloudWatch), while using GitOps approaches like Argo CD to make releases predictable and rollbacks straightforward.
