## 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\.
