DevOps Engineering
DevOps Process Automation & SecOps
I design scalable DevOps strategies tailored to cloud-native environments. I automate infrastructure and operational workflows using Terraform, Ansible, Bash, and Python. Security is embedded throughout pipelines using DevSecOps practices such as secrets management and access controls. This ensures secure, compliant, and efficient delivery.
CI/CD Automation
I design and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps. Pipelines automate builds, testing, security checks, and deployments. This enables consistent, repeatable, and reliable software releases.
Toolchain & Frameworks
I build modern DevOps toolchains using Git, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Ansible. Each toolchain is selected and integrated based on project requirements and scale. The goal is automation, visibility, and simplified operations.
Cloud DevOps (Azure / AWS / GCP)
I implement cloud-native DevOps solutions using Docker, Kubernetes (AKS, EKS, GKE), Helm, and infrastructure as code. This includes scalable deployments, rolling updates, and high-availability architectures. Cloud platforms are optimized for performance, security, and cost.
Tools & Technologies
Cloud Platforms
Azure, AWS, and GCP are used to design and operate scalable cloud infrastructures. I also work with multiple VPS providers such as DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr, and Hetzner. Platform selection is driven by performance, cost, and project requirements.
Containers & Orchestration
I use Docker for containerization and Kubernetes for orchestration across cloud platforms. Managed Kubernetes services such as AKS, EKS, and GKE are used for scalable deployments. Helm is used to manage application packaging and releases.
CI/CD & Version Control
I work with Git-based workflows using GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. CI/CD automation is implemented using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps Pipelines. This ensures consistent and automated delivery pipelines.
Infrastructure as Code & Automation
Infrastructure is provisioned and managed using Terraform, ARM templates, and CloudFormation. Configuration management and automation are handled using Ansible. Bash and Python are used for custom automation and scripting tasks.
Monitoring, Logging & Observability
Monitoring and observability are implemented using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Datadog, CloudWatch, and Azure Monitor. These tools provide deep visibility into infrastructure and applications. Alerts and dashboards help maintain system reliability.
Security & DevSecOps
I implement security best practices using IAM, RBAC, firewalls, WAF, and SSL/TLS. Secrets management and access controls are integrated into CI/CD pipelines. DevSecOps practices ensure security is enforced throughout the delivery lifecycle.
Databases & Storage
I work with relational and NoSQL databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. Cloud-native storage, backup, and disaster recovery strategies are implemented to ensure data durability and availability.
Operating Systems
I manage and support Linux-based systems including Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, and Debian. I also work with Windows Server environments. Systems are hardened, monitored, and optimized for production workloads.
Infrastructure Support
Cloud & Server Support
I design, deploy, and manage scalable cloud and server infrastructures across Azure, AWS, GCP, and multiple VPS providers. This includes provisioning, configuration, patching, and performance optimization using infrastructure as code. My focus is on high availability, cost efficiency, and long-term stability.
Network & Security
I build secure and reliable network architectures using VPC/VNet design, firewalls, VPNs, load balancers, and access controls. Security is enforced through IAM, SSL/TLS, WAF, and infrastructure hardening. Every environment is designed with security, compliance, and resilience in mind.
Monitoring & Observability
I implement comprehensive monitoring and observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Datadog, CloudWatch, and Azure Monitor. These tools provide real-time visibility into system health and application performance. Proactive alerting ensures faster issue detection and resolution.
24/7 Infrastructure Support
I provide continuous infrastructure support, incident response, and troubleshooting for production environments. By combining monitoring, automation, and log analysis, issues are resolved quickly and efficiently. This ensures minimal downtime and uninterrupted business operations.
Excited to take on new projects and collaborate.
