01. About Me

I'm a Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing, building, and automating scalable cloud infrastructure across Azure and AWS environments.

My expertise spans Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM Templates, CloudFormation), CI/CD pipeline automation (GitLab CI/CD, Azure DevOps), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and monitoring solutions (Dynatrace, Splunk).

I specialize in cloud migrations, disaster recovery using Azure Site Recovery and RiverMeadow, and transforming legacy infrastructure into modern, automated DevOps workflows.
