   I have over six years of experience managing Linux and Windows Server environments, working extensively with AWS, GCP, and multi-cloud deployments. My expertise includes designing and provisioning cloud infrastructure using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Pulumi, as well as implementing robust networking configurations involving VPCs, firewalls, load balancers, and VPNs. I have a deep understanding of AWS services, including EC2, EKS, RDS, Lambda, IAM, and security tools like AWS Secrets Manager, KMS, and AWS Shield.With strong proficiency in Kubernetes (EKS, OpenShift, Rancher) and containerization, I have implemented GitOps workflows using ArgoCD and FluxCD while managing Kubernetes security policies with Kyverno and OPA Gatekeeper. I have designed and maintained CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and AWS CodePipeline, integrating security scanning tools like SonarQube, OWASP ZAP, and Trivy for DevSecOps compliance.I am experienced in monitoring and observability solutions, leveraging Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, DataDog, and Splunk to ensure real-time system reliability. My background includes enforcing compliance with FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, SOC 2, and ISO 27001, integrating MITRE ATT & CK threat modeling into SIEM platforms, and automating security audits with AWS Config and Open Policy Agent.Beyond technical expertise, I have strong experience in mentoring DevOps engineers, leading cloud migrations, optimizing cost efficiency, and ensuring high availability through disaster recovery strategies. I excel at automating infrastructure provisioning, database management (MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB), and enhancing enterprise security through Zero Trust models, SIEM integration, and cloud security posture management. With a strong analytical mindset, excellent communication skills, and a commitment to innovation, I thrive in fast-paced, high-impact environments.
