👨‍💻 About Me

I am a DevOps & Cloud Engineer with hands-on production experience designing, automating, securing, and operating cloud-native infrastructure and Kubernetes platforms.

Currently working as the Sole DevOps & Cloud Engineer at Lotel Partners, I take ownership of the end-to-end DevOps lifecycle, including AWS infrastructure, Amazon EKS, Infrastructure as Code, GitOps, CI/CD, observability, cloud security, automation, and FinOps.

With a strong background in Full Stack Software Engineering, I bridge the gap between software development and infrastructure operations, helping engineering teams build and deliver scalable, secure, and reliable applications.

I am passionate about Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, DevSecOps, Cloud-Native Architecture, and Infrastructure Automation.
