About Me

I’m a DevOps Engineer working primarily with containerized applications in AWS environments.

My main focus is containerization, secure architecture design, and operating reliable production systems. I build environments where applications are easy to deploy, monitor, and scale.

Most of my work involves:

• Designing container-based microservices architectures
• Building and optimizing Docker images using multistage builds
• Managing container workloads on ECS
• Creating CI/CD pipelines for automated container deployments
• Designing secure AWS networking (VPC, ALB, WAF, Route53)
• Monitoring and implementing observability using CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana
• Managing staging and production environments

I focus on making systems stable, scalable, and predictable.
