About

As a passionate platform engineer and SRE professional, I thrive in bringing scalability and reliability to complex systems. My expertise lies in utilizing technologies such as Kubernetes, AWS, and GCP to build robust and secure cloud infrastructure. I have a deep understanding of CICD automation and have hands-on experience in using tools such as Docker, Github Actions, and Jenkins. I am proficient in a wide range of programming languages, including Python, Ruby, JavaScript/Node, Bash, and C#, and have extensive experience in database management using Postgres and MySQL. I am also familiar with monitoring and visualization tools such as Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, and have hands-on experience with infrastructure as code using Terraform, Puppet and AWS CDK. My passion for technology, combined with my experience, enables me to create efficient and effective solutions that meet the needs of clients. I am continuously seeking new challenges and opportunities to grow and expand my skillset, and I am always striving to stay ahead of the curve in an ever-evolving technology landscape. I am a problem-solver at heart and am driven to find the best possible solution for each unique challenge that I encounter.
