DevOps Engineer
I'm a DevOps engineer who enjoys building things that work reliably. After several years managing IT teams, I realized I wanted to dive deeper into the technical side — automating, monitoring, and improving systems myself.

Live Infrastructure Showcase
Kubernetes Resources
Application running on Kubernetes with auto-scaling, health checks, and zero-downtime deployments.
Cluster Monitoring
Real-time metrics from Kubernetes cluster. Monitored by Prometheus Operator and visualized in Grafana.
GitLab CI/CD Pipeline
Fully automated deployment to Kubernetes. Every git push triggers GitLab CI, builds a Docker image, and deploys to the K8s cluster.
