DevOps Engineer | AWS | Docker | Kubernetes | CI/CD | Terraform | Jenkins | ArgoCD 5+ Years of Experience | Scalable Cloud Solutions | Secure & Automated Deployments I run production Kubernetes on AWS EKS. I also work across Azure and GCP. 𝗠𝘆 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 in under five minutes with no static cloud keys anywhere in CI, because they authenticate through OIDC instead. 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽: deployments work, but they're held together with tape. Release steps run by hand, AWS keys sitting in CI where they shouldn't be, no alerting when something breaks, one database that takes the whole platform down with it. I clean that up and hand back something your team can run without me.
