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.

• AI & Scalability (Learning & Exploring): MLOps fundamentals, cloud-based AI workloads, scaling ML pipelines with Kubernetes
• Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Azure, Proxmox, VMware ESXi
• Containerization & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes, Helm
• DevOps & Automation: Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins
• Security: Infrastructure hardening, TLS management with cert-manager, secrets management, vulnerability scanning (Trivy, Clair)
• Monitoring & Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK stack, OpenTelemetry
• Networking & Systems: Linux/Unix/BSD systems administration, firewalls (iptables, nftables), load balancing, high availability
