Managing cloud-adjacent infrastructure for a 200+ user production environment — where downtime has a direct business cost. ▸ Zero-downtime track record: Maintain 99.9% uptime across Linux and Windows servers through proactive patch cycles and Prometheus-driven alerting — catching failures before they escalate. ▸ Automation that paid off: Engineered 6 Bash scripts for log rotation, user provisioning, and health checks — reducing repetitive IT workload by 12% and reclaiming ~4 engineering hours per week. ▸ Faster incident response: Deployed Prometheus monitoring dashboards that surface anomalies in real time, cutting reactive firefighting by ~30% and improving MTTR across the board. ▸ IAM at scale: Reduced Active Directory + Office 365 user provisioning time from ~25 min to under 8 min per user through scripted onboarding — across a 150+ user base. ▸ Network stability: Resolved recurring DNS, DHCP, and VPN bottlenecks that were causing 2–3 hours of weekly disruption — permanently closed the ticket.

Joined a fast-moving product team to own the CI/CD pipeline and cloud infrastructure from the ground up. ▸ Built the pipeline: Designed and deployed end-to-end CI/CD workflows using Jenkins and Bitbucket — accelerating deployment cycles by 5–7% and enabling the team to ship twice as frequently with consistent quality gates. ▸ Eliminated environment bugs: Containerized 3 production applications with Docker, achieving environment parity across dev, QA, and prod — environment-related bug reports dropped to near zero. ▸ Cloud infrastructure ownership: Provisioned and managed AWS (EC2, S3, IAM) for high-availability deployments; optimized instance sizing to cut idle resource spend by ~15%. ▸ Observability from day one: Integrated CloudWatch with SNS alerting for CPU, memory, and error-rate tracking — enabling on-call engineers to act on incidents 40% faster than manual log reviews. ▸ Deployment automation: Reduced manual release intervention from ~45 min to under 20 min per cycle through targeted Bash orchestration scripts.

About

I build infrastructure that doesn't break — and automate everything that would slow it down. As a DevOps & Cloud Engineer, I manage production-grade Linux and Windows environments for 200+ users, maintain 99.9% uptime, and cut operational overhead through Bash automation that freed ~4 engineering hours per week. My CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins + Bitbucket) have pushed deployment cycles 5–7% faster — compounding over every release. My stack: ▸ Cloud: AWS (EC2, S3, IAM, CloudWatch) ▸ Containers & Pipelines: Docker · Jenkins · Bitbucket · CI/CD Design ▸ Systems: Linux (Ubuntu/RHEL) · Windows Server · Active Directory · Office 365 ▸ Monitoring: Prometheus · CloudWatch · Log Analysis · MTTR Reduction ▸ Networking: DNS · DHCP · VPN · VLAN · Firewall Config · MTA Certified What separates me from most engineers at my level: I don't just keep systems running — I document why they failed, automate the fix, and make sure it never pages anyone at 2 AM again. Currently open to DevOps / Cloud Engineer roles in product companies, SaaS, or IT services — where infrastructure reliability is taken seriously.
