< About Me />

I'm a Senior System Engineer and DevOps Expert with a passion for building resilient, scalable infrastructure.

With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I specialize in container orchestration, cloud migration, and performance optimization for global systems. I've successfully migrated 50+ on-premises databases to AWS RDS, reducing latency by 30% and cutting costs by 20%.

I'm seeking opportunities to build high-availability systems and enhance operational excellence while advancing expertise in cloud-native technologies like Kubernetes, microservices, and serverless computing.
