Senior DevOps Engineer with 11 years of experience designing, automating, and managing scalable infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and on-premises environments. I specialize in building CI/CD pipelines using GitLab, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Bamboo, and implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform and Ansible.I have deep expertise in container orchestration with Kubernetes, Docker, and OpenShift. I have led the deployment and management of multi-node clusters and microservices-based applications. I’m also experienced in monitoring, logging, and observability using Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and Splunk, and have implemented Service Mesh architectures to improve microservices communication and reliability. Additionally, I have supported data engineering platforms like Databricks, helping automate deployment and integration with cloud infrastructure.Over my career, I’ve worked with tools like Puppet, Packer, Maven, Gradle, Snyk, and SonarQube to drive secure and efficient software delivery. I’ve led automation efforts across infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and release processes, reducing deployment times and improving stability.Passionate about automation, cloud-native architecture, and DevOps culture, I thrive in cross-functional teams, collaborating with developers, QA, and SREs to continuously improve delivery pipelines.
