Production-minded DevOps • reliable releases • security-by-default

Shipping reliable releases and resilient cloud platforms.

DevOps Engineer (2021–Present) specializing in CI/CD automation and cloud-native delivery across AWS and Kubernetes. I build repeatable deployment pipelines, infrastructure automation, and monitoring/alerting for enterprise workloads — focused on delivery speed, reliability, and security.

Short, specific, and recruiter-friendly. Ownership + outcomes + collaboration.

Professional summary

DevOps Engineer (2021–Present) specializing in CI/CD automation and cloud-native delivery across AWS and Kubernetes. Experienced building and operating reliable deployment pipelines, infrastructure automation, and monitoring/alerting for enterprise workloads. Known for strong ownership and cross-team collaboration during releases and incidents, with a focus on improving delivery speed, reliability, and security while continuously upskilling.

Executed scheduled deployments across dev, pre-live, and production to deliver reliable releases.
Owned Amazon EKS upgrades and platform maintenance to keep clusters secure, supported, and performant.
Built Prometheus/Grafana observability with alerting, reporting, and runbooks to reduce downtime.

How I work

I build and operate like an owner: plan safe releases, instrument systems for visibility, and treat incidents as feedback loops for continuous improvement.

Release discipline: coordinated windows, version rollouts, and change communication.
Operational rigor: pod health monitoring, triage, and remediation with clear stakeholder updates.
Security-first: access-control checks and SSH certificate validation where applicable.
