I help startups and teams ship faster and safer by building automated CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, and secure cloud infrastructure. Most teams I work with are losing time to manual deployments, flaky releases, or security gaps they only catch in production. I fix that by: • Building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions that test, scan, and deploy automatically • Setting up GitOps workflows with ArgoCD so every cluster change is version-controlled and auditable • Baking security into the pipeline with Trivy image and dependency scanning (DevSecOps, aligned to ISO 27001) • Provisioning reproducible infrastructure with Terraform on GCP and AWS • Orchestrating workloads on Kubernetes and Docker, with load testing via k6 • Setting up monitoring with Prometheus and the ELK stack What you get: fewer manual steps, faster and more reliable releases, and infrastructure you can trust and reproduce. Core stack: AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Trivy, Prometheus, ELK, Python, Bash If you need a reliable DevOps/DevSecOps engineer to automate your deployments or harden your cloud setup, message me with what you're working on and I'll tell you how I'd approach it.
