About Me
I am a DevOps Engineer with a strong focus on cloud-native systems, automation, and scalability. My career goal is to become a Cloud & Systems Architect who can design secure, highly available, and future-ready platforms.
I have practical experience in systems engineering, infrastructure security, and cloud technologies, with hands-on work in automation and observability. I am also learning more about AI, MLOps, and Distributed Systems, exploring how these areas can integrate with DevOps practices to build smarter and more resilient platforms.
