About Me

Passionate Cloud Engineer with a love for automation and innovation

Cloud & DevOps Engineer

I'm a dedicated Cloud & DevOps Engineer with extensive experience in designing, implementing, and managing scalable cloud infrastructure solutions. My expertise spans across multiple cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

My passion lies in automating complex infrastructure deployments using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform, and orchestrating containerized applications with Kubernetes. I believe in building resilient, secure, and cost-effective solutions that drive business value.

Beyond technology, I'm an avid tennis player (USTA 4.0 rated) and enjoy spending quality time with my family. I believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance while continuously learning and staying updated with the latest cloud technologies.

Family is at the center of everything I do. Here are some moments that bring me joy and keep me motivated.
