🚀 DevOps Engineer | Azure Developer | Cloud Infrastructure, DevSecOps & Automation

I’m a DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience designing, automating, and operating secure, observable, production-grade cloud platforms.

I work across AWS and Microsoft Azure, building CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes-based platforms, and Infrastructure as Code that reduce operational risk, eliminate manual deployments, and improve service reliability.

My engineering approach is risk-aware and audit-conscious, shaped by experience in regulated financial operations, and applied to modern cloud-native and DevSecOps systems.

I don’t just deploy applications — I engineer delivery systems that can be trusted in production.

• End-to-end CI/CD pipeline design (build → test → security scan → deploy)
• Infrastructure as Code with reproducibility and policy enforcement
• Kubernetes platform operations (K3s / AKS)
• DevSecOps: shifting security left into pipelines
• Observability-first systems with metrics, alerts, and release tracking
• Production troubleshooting, runbooks, and operational ownership

📦 Policy-driven CI/CD & Kubernetes deployment pipeline

Tech: GitHub Actions · Docker · Helm · K3s · Prometheus · Grafana · Sentry · Slack

• Designed and owned a fully automated CI/CD pipeline
• Embedded SAST, secrets detection, and IaC validation into pipeline gates
• Hardened container images (non-root, minimal base images)
• Implemented metrics-based observability with alert thresholds
• Standardized deployments for traceability and repeatability

Operational Outcome:
Replaced manual releases with policy-driven automation, improving audit readiness, visibility, and failure detection.
