I'm a Cloud & DevOps Engineer
About
Cloud and DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience designing, deploying, and automating cloud-native infrastructure on AWS and Azure. I thrive at the intersection of infrastructure, automation, and reliability. building systems that are scalable, secure, and production-ready.
I Build Infrastructure That Doesn't Break at 2am.
From code commit to production, I automate everything in between. AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, and an obsession with uptime.

I don't just configure tools. I build systems that teams can actually rely on when it matters most. Let's build something solid.
Skills
Here’s a snapshot of the key tools and technologies I’ve mastered, which help me deliver robust cloud and DevOps solutions
Project
A showcase of my hands-on work, demonstrating my ability to design scalable, automated cloud solutions and optimize infrastructure to solve real-world challenges.
Cloud-Native TaskApp - Production Kubernetes Deployment on AWS
Personal Capstone Project | AWS • Kubernetes • Terraform • ArgoCD • Docker • GitHub
- Designed and deployed a production-grade Kubernetes cluster across 3 AWS Availability Zones using kops, with a multi-master control plane, private subnet topology, and all infrastructure provisioned as code using Terraform - VPC, subnets, NAT Gateways, RDS PostgreSQL, and Route 53
- Deployed a full-stack application (React + Flask + PostgreSQL) on Kubernetes with 2 replicas per service, automated SSL/TLS via cert-manager and Let's Encrypt, and path-based routing via nginx Ingress controller
- Implemented GitOps deployment pipeline using ArgoCD - every git push automatically syncs and deploys to the cluster with zero manual intervention
- Migrated database from in-cluster PostgreSQL to AWS RDS (PostgreSQL 15) provisioned via Terraform, with automated backups, private subnet placement, and security group access restricted to VPC CIDR only
- Diagnosed and resolved 8 production-level issues including CrashLoopBackOff, VPC misconfigurations, Docker build cache failures, and cert-manager annotation errors - all documented in a full project runbook
DevOps Infrastructure & Monitoring Pipeline (AWS + Kubernetes) Stack:
Terraform • Jenkins • Docker • Kubernetes (Minikube) • Prometheus • Grafana • AWS EC2 • GitHub Actions
Production Banking System Deployment on AWS (EKS + Terraform) Stack:
Terraform • AWS EKS • ECR • RDS • GitHub Actions • Docker • Route 53 • NGINX Ingress • ArgoCD • JWT
- Provisioned production-grade AWS infrastructure using modular Terraform (VPC, EKS, RDS, Route 53) across multiple availability zones with public/private subnet separation
- Built and automated a full CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions, building Docker images, pushing to Amazon ECR, and deploying to EKS on every code push
- Configured NGINX Ingress Controller with Route 53 and SSL/TLS (Let's Encrypt) for secure HTTPS access via a custom domain
- Managed Kubernetes workloads using Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, and Secrets; implemented ArgoCD for GitOps-style continuous delivery, ensuring consistent and auditable deployment updates across the EKS cluster.
- Debugged and resolved cross-layer production issues including CORS 403 errors, Spring Security/JWT conflicts, Kubernetes ingress misconfigurations, and CI/CD environment variable failures.
Culture Compass - Travel Technology Web Application. DevOps & QA Engineer Contributor | Remote | 2026 – Present Stack:
GitHub Actions • Katalon Recorder • UptimeRobot • Google Analytics • Notion • Discord
- Managed version control workflows via GitHub - including branching strategy, pull requests, and issue tracking, in direct collaboration with the product founder.
- Designed and executed automated test suites using Katalon Recorder to validate critical user flows, resolving all failing test cases and achieving a clean pass result ahead of launch
- Implemented a Python-based monitoring integration embedded directly into the application codebase, enabling automated monitoring checks to run on every build via GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline
- Integrated Google Analytics to track live user traffic and behaviour, providing data visibility for post-launch decisions.
- Documented all tooling configurations, deployment decisions, and QA processes in Notion and GitHub Issues, maintaining clear team-wide records throughout the project lifecycle

Services
I help teams ship faster, stay reliable, and scale with confidence. From automating deployments to monitoring infrastructure in real time, here's what I bring to the table.
Cloud Infrastructure
Designing and provisioning scalable, secure cloud environments on AWS and Azure using Terraform and Infrastructure as Code best practices.
CI/CD Pipeline Setup
Building automated deployment pipelines with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and ArgoCD to help teams ship code faster and with fewer errors.
Containerization & Orchestration
Packaging and deploying applications using Docker and Kubernetes - ensuring consistency across dev, staging, and production environments
Monitoring & Alerting
Setting up real-time observability stacks with Prometheus and Grafana so your team is always the first to know when something goes wrong.
DevSecOps & Cost Optimization
Integrating security into your pipelines and optimizing cloud spend to keep your infrastructure both safe and cost-efficient.
Testing Automation
Automating QA processes to catch bugs early, reduce manual testing time, and maintain code quality across every release.
