About Me

DevOps & Cloud Engineer specialized in high availability and hybrid cloud automation. Focused on building reliable production platforms across Azure and on-prem virtualization, applying Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles to keep environments predictable, versioned, and auditable - from core infrastructure to Kubernetes platform components.

Kubernetes and GitOps with Argo CD are at the center of delivery, supported by CI/CD pipelines in GitLab and GitHub to reduce lead time and ship changes safely. The standard stack includes Terraform and Ansible for automation, Prometheus/Grafana for observability, and Vault-style secrets management for security.
