About me
Intro
I am a DevOps Engineer with 4 years of experience working with Azure, Kubernetes (AKS), Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. In my current role, I work on containerizing microservices, managing AKS-based deployments, and automating infrastructure using Terraform. I also work on improving CI/CD pipelines and supporting production environments through monitoring and troubleshooting. I have experience with observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, and EFK, which help improve system visibility and reduce troubleshooting time in microservices environments. Previously, I worked on Azure infrastructure, Kubernetes onboarding, monitoring, networking, and security-related configurations including RBAC, VPN, and Private Endpoints. I enjoy solving infrastructure problems, automating manual processes, and improving system reliability in cloud-native environments. I am currently based in the UK and open to DevOps and Cloud Engineering opportunities.
