About

I’m a DevOps and Azure Cloud engineer with 5+ years of experience building reliable CI/CD pipelines, automating infrastructure provisioning, and supporting cloud-native deployments for enterprise environments. I’ve worked extensively with Azure DevOps to streamline build, release, and governance workflows, while also managing containerized applications with Docker, Kubernetes, and AKS.

Across my roles, I’ve partnered with engineering and QA teams to improve deployment speed and system reliability using Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and ARM templates, secure secret management with Azure Key Vault, and observability with Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana, and Splunk. I also leverage AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Claude, and Gemini to accelerate scripting and troubleshooting—always with a strong focus on security, scalability, and operational best practices.
