Read on Dev.to →About Me
I am a DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience in designing, deploying, and maintaining cloud-based infrastructure. I specialize in automating workflows, optimizing deployments, and ensuring system reliability using AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.
My strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills allow me to quickly identify and resolve issues, ensuring that systems are always up and running. With a deep understanding of infrastructure as code, container orchestration, and cloud security best practices, I thrive in fast-paced environments where problem-solving and efficiency are critical.
Whether it's debugging complex system failures, optimizing resource utilization, or improving deployment pipelines, I am always eager to tackle new challenges. Let's connect and explore how we can collaborate to build resilient, high-performing systems!
