Summary

As a dedicated and passionate AIOps Engineer, I seek to leverage my expertise in automation and CI/CD to optimize both software delivery and machine learning pipelines. I have hands-on experience with Azure DevOps, Terraform, Docker, AKS, GitHub, and Azure Repos, with a strong foundation in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), containerization, and orchestration. My experience extends to MLOps, where I automate end-to-end ML workflows, ensuring smooth deployment, scalability, and reproducibility of models. I integrate AIOps to enhance system monitoring, anomaly detection, and automated incident resolution, improving overall system uptime. Recently, I have expanded into Large Language Models (LLMs), focusing on deploying and fine-tuning them in cloud-native environments. Through continuous learning and the adoption of emerging technologies, my objective is to drive innovation, streamline workflows, and contribute to a forward-thinking team of technologists.

Professional system engineering specialist with extensive experience in designing, deploying, and maintaining robust IT infrastructures. Consistently ensures high levels of system reliability and security. Known for excellent team collaboration and adaptability, leveraging analytical skills and problem-solving expertise.
