About

I'm a DevOps & AWS Engineer at Capgemini with hands-on experience designing scalable cloud infrastructure, automating deployments, and managing containerized workloads on Kubernetes.

My background in Mechanical Engineering (BIW Fixture Design) gave me a structured, systems-thinking mindset — I transitioned into cloud and DevOps because I wanted to build things that scale. That analytical foundation now drives how I approach infrastructure problems.

Currently preparing for AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03). When I'm not automating pipelines, I'm exploring GitOps with ArgoCD and monitoring stacks with Prometheus and Grafana.
