I am a seasoned IT professional with over a decade of experience, characterized by continuous evolution and mastery across diverse technological domains. My career began at a Fortune Global 500 PC manufacturer company, where I developed a strong foundation in traditional IT, gaining comprehensive expertise in hardware, databases, operating systems, and SAP applications.

This experience led to my transition into cloud computing, with a focus on plubic cloud platforms and DevOps practices. In subsequent roles, I implemented crucial cloud cost optimization strategies and spearheaded digital transformations, significantly improving organizational agility and cloud presence.

I have also advanced into Machine Learning Operations (MLOps), focused on automating ML model provisioning and deployment on AWS EKS.

With extensive AWS and DevOps experience, I possess proven expertise in Kubernetes orchestration, CI/CD pipeline development, and serverless architecture in Cloud environment. My strong capabilities in automation through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like CloudFormation, Terraform, and Ansible have enabled me to streamline infrastructure provisioning and dynamic EKS cluster management. I hold several industry-recognized certifications, including AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, CNCF Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), and CNCF Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS).
