About
As an experienced DevOps Engineer in both AWS and Azure, my primary focus has been around automating infrastructure, developing CI/CD pipelines and increasing the reliability of systems. My interests lie in finding ways to minimize complexity and breakdown barriers through automation resulting in less manual effort on behalf of developers. Lastly, I am highly collaborative and work directly with development teams to provide stable systems that scale as needed.
