I am a versatile Software Engineer with over three years of experience building scalable backend systems, automating cloud infrastructure, and streamlining CI/CD pipelines. My background spans both software development and DevOps, allowing me to contribute to full-stack systems with high availability, security, and performance.
I am proficient in Java, Python, and Shell Scripting, and have used these languages to develop backend services, automate workflows, and build internal tools. My cloud expertise includes AWS and Azure, along with infrastructure automation using Terraform, Ansible, and AWS CloudFormation.
On the DevOps side, I have experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm) and continuous integration/deployment tools like GitLab, Jenkins, and Argo CD. I’ve implemented observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, and Datadog to enable proactive monitoring and incident response.
I’m passionate about cloud-native development, automation, and engineering excellence. I enjoy bridging development and operations to deliver secure, reliable, and cost-effective solutions. My goal is to be part of innovative, high-performing teams that build impactful software at scale.
