About Me

Senior DevOps Engineer & Cloud Architect

I am an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer with a proven track record in designing, deploying, and maintaining AWS-based applications. With multiple AWS and Kubernetes certifications, I bring expertise in cloud-native technologies and infrastructure automation.

My expertise spans across the entire DevOps lifecycle, from infrastructure as code using Terraform and Ansible, to CI/CD pipeline development with Jenkins and GitLab, and container orchestration with Kubernetes. I have successfully led complex projects in distributed SaaS platforms, ensuring high system reliability and efficiency.

Currently based in Kerala, Cochin, India, I work with Magnit Global (ProUnlimited) as a Senior DevOps Engineer, where I focus on building highly available AWS architectures and implementing advanced monitoring solutions.
