About

I’m a DevOps and SRE engineer with a little over 7 years of experience helping teams run applications smoothly in the cloud. Most of my work revolves around Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and AWS, but I also spend a lot of time building CI/CD pipelines and keeping systems reliable with monitoring and observability tools like Datadog, Dynatrace, Prometheus, and ELK. I am actively looking for new opportunities and am available to join immediately. I started my career as a software engineer, so I understand both the development and infrastructure sides. Over time, I’ve focused on automation, scalability, and reliability — making sure deployments are faster, systems stay healthy, and issues get resolved quickly. What excites me most is solving problems, simplifying complex processes, and working with teams to make things better every day. I enjoy learning new tools and approaches, and I like sharing that knowledge to help others grow as well.
