Summary

I am a seasoned DevOps Manager with over 18 years of experience, specializing in infrastructure automation, cloud computing, and service reliability. My primary focus is on building scalable and efficient solutions through automation using Ansible, Ansible Tower, PowerShell, and Bash, significantly reducing manual effort and improving operational consistency. I have designed and delivered automation frameworks that integrate with RESTful APIs to manage and optimize complex cloud infrastructures across AWS and Azure. With a strong foundation in ITIL, ServiceNow, CMDB, and SLA management, I ensure compliance, service excellence, and seamless IT operations. I am well-versed in implementing monitoring and alerting systems to enable proactive issue resolution and enhance system uptime. As a collaborative team leader, I foster a culture of innovation and continuous improvement, driving automation-first strategies that not only optimize infrastructure but also align closely with business objectives for long-term success.
