About Me

I'm a DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of production experience managing large-scale Linux infrastructure, cloud operations, and CI/CD automation. Currently at QS Quacquarelli Symonds, I manage infrastructure for 40+ websites and drive operational excellence through automation and optimization.

I specialize in building and maintaining production infrastructure that's reliable, secure, and cost-effective. From Linux system administration to Kubernetes orchestration, GitLab CI/CD pipeline creation, and AWS infrastructure management, I handle the complete DevOps lifecycle. Self-taught in AWS, Kubernetes, and modern DevOps practices through hands-on production work and continuous learning.
