Hi,
I am a Junior DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and containerization.
I have a 5.0 rating on Upwork from completed projects, and I like to build real, working systems, not just follow tutorials.
One of my recent projects: I built a FastAPI application and set up a complete CI/CD pipeline to deploy it on Google Cloud Run. Every time I push code to GitHub, the pipeline automatically:
Builds a secure, multi-stage Docker image (non-root user)
Scans it for vulnerabilities using Trivy
Pushes the image to Artifact Registry
Deploys it to Cloud Run automatically
You can see the full project and code in my Portfolio section below.
My core skills:
Cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, GCP (hands-on project experience)
Containers: Docker, basic Kubernetes
CI/CD: GitHub Actions
Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Ansible
Scripting: Bash, Python (basics)
Linux system administration (intermediate level)
I am honest about what I know, and I focus on doing quality work rather than overpromising. If you need help with cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, or containerization, I would be glad to help you.
Best regards,
Farhan
