๐ AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect, Cloud Engineer with 6+ years in AWS, Azure, Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure enhancement
โ ABOUT ME
As an Certificate AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer, I bring 6+ years of hands-on experience across AWS, azure and kubernetes environments, moving fluidly between aws devops and azure devops work depending on what the client's stack demands.
39% lower AWS spend, from $2,000 to $800/month, delivered while working as an AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer for a Fintech SaaS client, where aws devops and devops practices ran side by side across a hybrid AWS and azure stack, backed by tight security & compliance controls and FinOps discipline from day one.
99.9% uptime and 60% faster releases came from building CI/CD and ci/cd pipelines with github actions, plus ci/cd azure workflows, in my role as an AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer for teams standardizing on Azure DevOps.
25+ kubernetes clusters managed with Docker and docker devops workflows cutting deployment time by 45%, work I take on as an AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer across both aws and azure devops environments.
12+ production environments hardened for security & compliance, with IAM policies and FinOps cost controls reducing audit findings by 30% on every AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer engagement I run.
18,000+ daily requests routed through ECS/Fargate, with Terraform/CDK and other IaC tools cutting environment provisioning from days to minutes, a core part of how I work as an AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer.
6+ mlops pipelines deployed alongside data engineer teams and a senior full stack developer, cutting model deployment time by 40% using python automation as an AWS DevOps Engineer, Senior DevOps, AWS Architect and Cloud Engineer.
โ WHERE I DELIVER

As a Senior DevOps Engineer with over 5 years of hands-on experience, I specialize in building scalable, secure, and highly automated cloud infrastructure for fast-moving startups and enterprise environments. My expertise bridges the gap between development and operationsโensuring efficient, reliable software delivery with a strong focus on automation, monitoring, and cloud-native architecture.
Cloud-first & Automation-driven: I design and manage infrastructure in AWS, GCP, and Azure, using best practices in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and Configuration Management (Ansible, Puppet).
CI/CD & DevOps Pipelines: Whether it's GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline, I streamline software delivery with robust, repeatable pipelines and implement containerized workflows with Docker and Kubernetes.
Monitoring & Reliability: Proactive system visibility is my priority. I deploy and fine-tune monitoring stacks like Prometheus + Grafana, CloudWatch, and Datadog, and set up alerting systems to catch issues before they impact users.
Problem Solver, Not Just a Tool User: I donโt just know toolsโI solve problems. From automating repetitive processes to securing critical infrastructure and minimizing downtime, I bring value where it counts most.
Strong Linux Foundation: With years of Linux system administration (RHEL, Ubuntu, Debian), I build infrastructure thatโs not only automatedโbut resilient and secure from the ground up.
Let's work together to optimize your infrastructure, automate your deployments, and scale with confidence.
Core Technical Skills:
Cloud Platforms: AWS (EC2, RDS, ECS, IAM), GCP, Microsoft Azure
Containerization & Orchestration: Kubernetes, Docker, Docker Swarm, AWS ECS
CI/CD Tools: GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline
Monitoring & Logging: Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Datadog, Zabbix, Icinga, ELK Stack
