   DevOps Engineer | Automating Software Delivery & Enhancing EfficiencyAs a passionate DevOps professional, I design and implement end-to-end automation solutions to build scalable, resilient cloud infrastructure.My expertise spans Kubernetes orchestration, AWS cloud services, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), with hands-on experience in Terraform for provisioning cloud resources and Ansible for configuration management.I specialize in containerized environments, having managed production-grade Kubernetes clusters, including upgrades, namespace management, and application deployments using Pods, Deployments, and ReplicaSets.My AWS implementations involve designing secure, highly available architectures using IAM, EC2, VPC, RDS, and S3, integrated with load balancers and auto-scaling groups.A strong advocate of GitOps practices, I\'ve implemented Argo CD for declarative Kubernetes deployments, using Git as the single source of truth.My DevOps toolkit includes:Jenkins : Designed and managed multi-branch CI/CD pipelines integrated with GitHub Webhooks to automate build, test, security scanning (SonarQube & Trivy), and Kubernetes deployments.Docker : Created and maintained optimised multi-stage Dockerfiles to reduce image size and build time. Pushed production-ready images to DockerHub as part of the automated pipeline.Prometheus & Grafana : Implemented monitoring and alerting for infrastructure and workloads to ensure system health and performance visibility.With extensive Linux administration experience across RHEL, Ubuntu, and CentOS, I manage everything from package management (RPM/YUM ) to performance tuning.My approach combines infrastructure automation, cloud-native principles, and SRE practices to deliver secure, reliable, and efficient systems with streamlined software delivery.
