Sr. DevOps & Cloud Engineer| AWS Solutions Architect| Certified CKA

I am a Senior DevOps Engineer with 10+ years of hands-on experience in architecting, automating, securing, and optimizing mission-critical cloud infrastructure for startups, SaaS platforms, fintech companies, healthcare systems, and enterprise-scale applications. I specialize in building highly available, scalable, secure, and cost-optimized infrastructure across AWS, AZURE, GCP, and Kubernetes environments. I have successfully designed and managed large-scale infrastructures containing hundreds of microservices running on single and multi-cluster Kubernetes environments. My expertise extends beyond traditional DevOps into DevSecOps, Cybersecurity, Compliance, MLOps, AI Infrastructure, and Agentic AI deployment systems.
