About

I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer with over 20 years of experience transforming how organizations build, deploy, and scale their infrastructure. My passion lies in bridging the gap between development and operations through AWS cloud solutions and Infrastructure-as-Code.

Having worked with industry leaders from startups to Fortune 500 companies, I've architected and deployed mission-critical systems that serve millions of users. My approach combines deep technical expertise with strategic thinking to deliver solutions that are not just functional, but scalable, secure, and cost-effective.

I hold multiple AWS certifications including DevOps Engineer - Professional, Solutions Architect - Associate, and SysOps Administrator - Associate, along with HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate. More importantly, I bring real-world experience in turning complex business requirements into elegant technical solutions.

Whether you're looking to migrate to the cloud, implement DevOps practices, or optimize your existing infrastructure, I'm here to help you navigate the technical landscape and achieve your goals efficiently and reliably.
