About

As a passionate DevOps Engineer with 6 years of experience, I specialize in streamlining the development and deployment process to enhance productivity and ensure seamless system reliability.

With expertise in CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure), and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), I work to build scalable, automated systems that drive business success. My focus is on infrastructure as code using Terraform and Python (CDK), ensuring that everything from provisioning to monitoring is optimized.

I am driven by the challenge of improving software quality through automation and collaboration.With that moto Currently i work in Booking.com as a DevOps Engineer.
