About Me

Senior Multi-Cloud DevOps Engineer

With 5+ years of experience specializing in Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform, I am a Kubernetes Architect and IaC Expert with deep expertise in designing, deploying, and managing enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

As a Google Cloud Certified professional, I'm skilled in transforming manual workflows into automated, GitOps-driven powerhouses. From DevSecOps integration to FinOps cloud optimization, I focus on building secure, self-healing infrastructures that enable developers to ship code faster and more reliably.
