Senior DevOps Engineer & Cloud Architect

As a Tech Lead in a fast-paced startup environment, I'm responsible for shaping the technical direction and building a scalable, secure, and efficient cloud ecosystem. Within a small and highly dynamic team, I combine hands-on engineering with architectural leadership to establish modern best practices across the entire software lifecycle. Key responsibilities include: - Designing and implementing cloud architectures and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) standards to ensure consistency and scalability. - Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines that enable automated testing, reliable releases, and faster delivery cycles. - Defining best practices for containerization, monitoring, observability, and performance optimization. - Embedding security design and compliance into every stage of development and deployment. - Partnering closely with developers to enhance release velocity, system reliability, and developer experience. - Continuously evaluating and adopting new technologies to drive scalability, maintainability, and operational excellence. This role bridges strategy and execution — fostering a DevOps culture that values automation, collaboration, and continuous improvement while staying deeply involved in day-to-day implementation.

Worked as a member of the infrastructure and DevOps team in a large enterprise environment, focusing on automation, scalability, and reliability. During my three years in this role, I developed expertise across the full cloud-native stack and contributed to significant improvements in deployment velocity and system stability. Key responsibilities and skills developed: - Helped engineer and maintain CI/CD pipelines, including integration of security best practices (DevSecOps) and GitOps workflows. - Specialized in containerization, deploying and managing scalable applications using Kubernetes and OpenShift. - Assisted in managing multi-cloud environments (AWS, Microsoft Azure), provisioning and automating infrastructure with Infrastructure as Code (IaC). - Contributed to cloud migration strategies for legacy systems and applications. - Collaborated within Agile methodologies to help enhance team productivity and streamline development processes. - Participated in system administration tasks to help ensure high availability and performance of critical systems.
