I'm a Cloud & DevOps Engineer with hands-on network engineering and cloud administration experience — AZ-104 and AZ-400 certified, specializing in Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), with a CCNA-backed networking foundation. I design, deploy, automate, secure, and operate scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure. My work spans cloud architecture, Azure administration, DevOps, Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes, networking, security, and observability, with a strong focus on automation and production reliability.
My Azure experience covers both cloud engineering and administration, including resource management, compute, storage, networking, identity and access, monitoring, security, scaling, backup and recovery, troubleshooting, and cost optimization. I work with VMs, VM Scale Sets, App Services, AKS, ACR, VNets, NSGs, Application Gateway/WAF, Azure Bastion, Key Vault, Entra ID/RBAC, Azure Monitor, managed databases, Redis, and Blob Storage. I'm comfortable using the Azure Portal, Azure CLI, PowerShell, and Terraform for cloud operations and automation. I also work with OCI and apply the same principles of security, scalability, availability, and reliability across cloud platforms.
For DevOps and delivery automation, I work with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, and Argo CD, using Terraform, Ansible, and Packer for repeatable infrastructure and configuration management. I work with Docker, Kubernetes, AKS, Helm, and GitOps, including deployment, ingress, RBAC, resource management, storage, and troubleshooting. Security is integrated into my workflows through Trivy, SonarQube, OWASP ZAP, Entra ID/RBAC, NSGs, WAF, network segmentation, and zero-trust principles. For observability, I use Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, with exposure to Loki/ELK.
My Linux and CCNA networking background helps me troubleshoot systems from the network layer through to applications. I work with TCP/IP, subnetting, routing, VLANs, DNS, NAT, VPN/IPsec, firewalls, ACLs, Linux administration, and system troubleshooting. I'm also experienced with Nginx as a web server, reverse proxy, and load balancer, including traffic routing, upstream configuration, and TLS termination. I use Python, Bash, and PowerShell for automation and infrastructure tooling, with some exposure to FastAPI backend development and API-driven services.
Outside my core Cloud and DevOps work, I'm exploring Agentic AI and LLM engineering as a part-time hobby, including LangGraph, RAG, MCP, and tool-calling agents, particularly where AI can interact with cloud and DevOps systems.
