DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 4+ years of experience automating deployments, optimizing cloud operations, and hardening production environments. I design and manage scalable systems on AWS using EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, Route53, Lambda, and IAM. Experienced in building Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and Ansible to enforce consistency and security across deployments. I develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab, and GitHub Actions to enable rapid and reliable delivery.

Security-conscious, with hands-on experience in vulnerability scanning (Snyk, SonarQube) and compliance practices. Comfortable managing Windows and Linux systems at scale, writing automations in Bash, Python, and YAML. Dedicated to operational excellence, agile collaboration, and continuous learning. Always ready to lead infrastructure initiatives that improve system uptime, scalability, and security.
