Summary

As a site reliability and DevOps engineer, I specialize in designing and implementing scalable, resilient, and efficient systems for large-scale web applications. With over 7 years of experience in the field, I have a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities of building and maintaining complex systems, and a passion for using technology to drive business value and customer satisfaction.

I have expertise in a range of tools and technologies, including Linux, containers,

Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, and AWS. I also have a strong background in software engineering and agile development, which enables me to work seamlessly with development teams to deliver high-quality, reliable software.

In my current role, I am responsible for ensuring the availability, performance, and security of a large-scale e-commerce platform, using a combination of automation, monitoring, and incident response. I am also involved in the design and implementation of new features and improvements, leveraging my knowledge of DevOps best practices and industry trends.

I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow, and to apply my skills and experience to help organizations realize the full potential of their systems and technology.
