About

I’m a DevOps/SRE Engineer hands-on experience building scalable cloud platforms, automating infrastructure, and improving reliability. My expertise spans AWS, Kubernetes (cloud Managed, Openshift, On prem), Terraform, CI/CD automation, and cloud-native observability. I specialize in designing secure, production-grade cloud architectures—implementing IRSA-based access, zero-trust IAM, Pod Security Standards, and automated vulnerability scanning. I’ve led major automation initiatives including Jenkins pipelines, Terraform-driven environments, and AI-powered tools that reduce operational toil and accelerate engineering workflows. With strong experience in Kubernetes, AWS VPC networking, RDS/PostgreSQL tuning, Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, and serverless automation, I consistently improve platform uptime, performance, and security. I enjoy solving complex infrastructure problems, collaborating with product and engineering teams, and building systems that scale reliably.
