PROFILE SUMMARY
A devoted DevOps Engineer with an 8-year journey through the dynamic fields of software deployment and
cloud infrastructure management. Renowned for crafting, deploying, and refining effective deployment
strategies, I specialize in the seamless application of continuous integration and continuous deployment
(CI/CD) methodologies. Utilizing advanced tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, Travis CI, Ansible, Docker, and
Kubernetes, I drive the automation of software release processes, enhancing operational efficiency. My
expertise extends across major cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, where I
design and maintain scalable cloud infrastructures tailored for diverse industry needs from fintech and
medtech to e-commerce and cybersecurity. Proficient in managing a wide array of cloud services like
compute instances, storage solutions, networking, and advanced security configurations, I integrate
technologies such as Terraform, Elasticsearch, and Prometheus to ensure robust and scalable
environments. I thrive on collaboration, working closely with multiple departments to automate and optimize
the software development lifecycle, ensuring smooth and efficient processes aligned with Agile practices and
other strategic management approaches. My technical acumen also includes significant experience with IoT,
big data solutions, and open-source DevOps tools, which allow me to adapt and innovate in response to
evolving technological landscapes. Whether innovating or tackling complex real-world challenges, I bring a
mission-driven attitude and a creative problem-solving skillset to deliver impactful solutions.
