About Me

I am a Lead DevOps Engineer with a strong background in cloud architecture, container orchestration, and infrastructure automation. My expertise spans across AWS and GCP platforms, with a focus on building resilient, scalable cloud-native solutions.

Currently, I lead engineering efforts focused on automating cloud resource provisioning using Terraform, Python, and Shell scripts. I’ve built custom cloud resiliency frameworks using Chaos Toolkit and AWS FIS to ensure production-grade systems can withstand failures. With experience across fintech, mortgage, and enterprise sectors, I specialize in microservices architecture, containerization, and DevOps practices that enable efficient CI/CD pipelines.
