About Me
I'm a full-stack DevOps, Cloud, and SRE Engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience building and managing scalable cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes environments.
My career began in 2017 mastering Linux infrastructure and automation foundations. I rapidly evolved into DevOps engineering, leading containerization and CI/CD initiatives. Today, I architect enterprise-grade cloud solutions with SRE principles, specializing in:
- ☸️
Kubernetes & Container Orchestration
Building and managing EKS, AKS, and on-prem Kubernetes clusters
- 🔧
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform, CloudFormation, and automated deployment pipelines
- 📊
SRE & Observability
SLIs/SLOs, monitoring, and incident management at scale
- ☁️
Multi-Cloud Architecture
AWS and Azure - cost optimization and security
- 🔒
Cloud Security & Compliance
SonarQube, OWASP, OPA, container scanning, and regulatory compliance
I believe in automation, reliability, and continuous improvement. My philosophy is simple: automate everything, monitor everything, and never stop learning.
When I'm not architecting cloud infrastructure, you'll find me on mountain trails, challenging myself with sand volleyball, experimenting with new recipes, or diving into the latest DevOps innovations. I'm driven by continuous learning, reliability-first thinking, and the belief that great engineering comes from understanding both the systems and the people who use them.
