Welcome! I’m a DevOps Engineer with over 5 years of experience making cloud infrastructures efficient and reliable. My journey in tech has been driven by a love for innovation, a commitment to continuous improvement, and a keen eye for detail.
I specialize in using AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, and GitHub Actions to streamline processes and keep systems running smoothly. Building CI/CD pipelines and automating deployments are part of my daily routine, and I enjoy using Prometheus and Grafana to monitor system health and minimize downtime.
Currently, at Edmunds, I design and maintain scalable cloud architectures, ensuring high performance and security. My role involves managing Kubernetes clusters, deploying Docker containers, and automating infrastructure provisioning with Terraform. I've also implemented robust CI/CD pipelines that have significantly improved deployment times and reliability.
Outside of work, I'm passionate about learning new technologies and staying updated with the latest best practices in the tech world. I enjoy tackling new challenges and continuously improving my skills. In my free time, I love hiking, playing video games, and spending time with family and friends.
If you’re interested in my work or just want to connect, feel free to reach out!
