About Sameer Alam

I’m always eager to learn and improve, and I do well in team settings where working together is important. With experience as a Linux SysAdmin and DevOps Engineer, I’m skilled in Python and Ansible. I handle system security issues effectively, manage Nessus scans, and implement strong security measures. I build smooth CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and work with cloud platforms like AWS. I also manage containerized environments using Kubernetes and Docker. I’m good at shell scripting to make processes more efficient. My friendly nature helps me work well with others and deliver great results in all my projects.
