Senior DevOps Engineer - Cloud Infrastructure & Automation Specialist

Senior DevOps and Cloud Engineer with 12+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and operating enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and platform engineering solutions across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. I hold Red Hat Global Certifications (RHCE, RHCSA), AWS Solutions Architect Associate, CCNA, CCNP, and ITIL-F4, combining deep technical expertise with strong client-facing communication and delivery skills.

Cloud Infrastructure & Architecture I design secure, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including multi-account AWS landing zones using Control Tower, Account Factory, and Organizational Units. I have deep practical experience with AWS services including EKS, EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, Lambda, RDS, GuardDuty, Security Hub, and Config Rules. On Azure, I work with AKS, Azure DevOps, Bicep, Azure Policy, Entra ID, and Key Vault.

DevOps & CI/CD Engineering I build and optimise end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps, designing reusable templates, shared libraries, and automated quality gates. I apply GitOps principles using Argo CD and manage Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Ansible, with a strict no manual changes in production policy.

Kubernetes & Containers I manage production Kubernetes workloads across Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, OpenShift, and K3s, covering cluster architecture, RBAC, Helm, Kustomize, and container security. Deep hands-on Docker experience across Dockerfile optimisation, container networking, and CI/CD integration.

Security & DevSecOps I embed DevSecOps throughout the software lifecycle — integrating SonarQube, JFrog Xray, and policy-as-code as mandatory pipeline controls. I design IAM architectures at organisational scale, configure SCPs, manage secrets via HashiCorp Vault and AWS Secrets Manager, and implement GuardDuty, Security Hub, and VPC hardening with the philosophy that security enables engineering velocity, not the other way around.

SRE & Observability I apply SRE principles including SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets to improve platform reliability. I operate Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, New Relic, and Splunk — building dashboards and alerting frameworks that reduce alert fatigue and mean time to resolution.

Scripting & Automation Proficient in Python, Bash, Groovy DSL, and PowerShell for infrastructure automation, pipeline tooling, and internal platform development building CLI tools and utilities that improve developer experience and reduce manual effort.

Cloud Consultancy & Community I speak at Cloud and DevOps events and meetups, sharing practical learnings and driving cloud adoption. I deliver end-to-end cloud consultancy translating complex technical requirements into pragmatic, implementable solutions across startups to enterprise.
