Summary

I have over 8 years of experience in the IT industry, with the last 3+ years focused on DevOps. During this time, I’ve worked extensively on Azure cloud, using tools like Terraform, Azure CLI, and PowerShell to build secure, automated, and scalable infrastructure. hands-on experience in setting up CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, which helped speed up software delivery and reduce manual work. I’ve worked on both monolithic and microservices-based 3-tier applications, focusing on improving performance, reliability, and deployment processes. also familiar with setting up monitoring and alerting using tools like Prometheus and Grafana, which helped the team stay on top of system health and fix issues faster. I enjoy working closely with development, testing, and operations teams, and I always try to find ways to make systems more efficient, secure, and easy to manage.
