Experience

My journey into the realm of SRE and DevOps began with a keen interest in optimizing processes and workflows. Throughout my career, I've honed my skills in:

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): I believe in treating infrastructure as software, employing tools like Terraform and Bicep to provision and manage resources programmatically, ensuring repeatability and consistency across environments.
  • Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): Automating the software delivery pipeline is crucial for accelerating development cycles and maintaining high-quality code. I've implemented CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, and other tools to streamline builds, tests, and deployments.
  • Containerization & Orchestration: Docker and Kubernetes have revolutionized the way we deploy and manage applications. I've designed containerized architectures and orchestrated them using Kubernetes, optimizing resource utilization and facilitating seamless scaling.
  • Monitoring & Observability: Proactive monitoring is key to detecting and mitigating issues before they impact users. I've implemented monitoring solutions using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack, enabling real-time visibility into system health and performance.
  • Incident Response & Disaster Recovery: In the face of unexpected outages or disasters, a robust incident response plan is essential. I've led incident response efforts, conducting post-mortems to identify root causes and implement preventive measures, while also designing and testing disaster recovery strategies to minimize downtime.

    I believe in a holistic approach to SRE and DevOps, where collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement are central tenets. By fostering a culture of shared ownership and accountability across development and operations teams, I strive to break down silos and promote transparency, driving towards the common goal of delivering reliable and resilient software. Projects & Contributions: Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working on a diverse array of projects, from migrating monolithic applications to microservices architectures to architecting highly available and fault-tolerant systems in the cloud. Whether it's optimizing resource utilization, reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR), or enhancing security posture, I'm passionate about tackling complex challenges head-on and delivering innovative solutions.
