DevOps Engineer who solves complex infrastructure puzzles. With 4+ years in DevOps and 13+ years managing Linux systems, I specialize in infrastructure automation, cloud architecture, database optimization, and deployment pipelines. I don't just fix problems—I architect sustainable solutions and lead projects from planning through production. My current role evolved from QA to owning all DevOps operations because I saw what needed fixing and took initiative to modernize legacy systems, build CI/CD pipelines, and coordinate multi-service deployments.
