My journey in the tech realm commenced at BlueJeans Network, where I served as a Senior DevOps Engineer. There, I led critical projects, managed cloud infrastructure utilizing Terraform, engineered deployment pipelines with Jenkins, and introduced an open-source backup system for data center servers. Armed with certifications in AWS and Azure, I possess a versatile skill set encompassing NodeJS, Python, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, EKS, ECS, Git, Bitbucket, Jenkins, MySQL, Oracle, and an array of monitoring tools including Datadog, NewRelic, and Nagios. Additionally, my proficiency extends to frontend technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ReactJS, and Redux. Driven by a passion for problem-solving and continuous learning, I thrive in collaborative environments, dedicated to delivering top-notch products and services. My overarching objective is to contribute to impactful projects that drive positive change and innovation on a global scale.
