ABOUT ME
I'm a technology professional transitioning into DevOps & Cloud Engineering, with hands-on experience across QA, security, Linux, networking and infrastructure.
My QA background taught me to think about reliability from the user's perspective. My security experience taught me to question the system underneath. Now I'm combining both with DevOps practices to build repeatable, observable and secure delivery workflows.
I learn by building: multi-AZ AWS networks, Dockerized multi-tier applications, CI/CD pipelines and automation projects — then document the lessons for others.
TECH STACK
EC2 · S3 · IAM · VPC · ALB · Auto Scaling · CloudWatch · SNS · Route 53
Build, test and deployment automation with modern delivery workflows.
Containerized application stacks with networking, persistence and health checks.
Strong CLI, troubleshooting and scripting foundation for cloud environments.
Health checks, logs, monitoring concepts and release validation mindset.
Testing and security experience that adds a DevSecOps perspective.
SELECTED PROJECTS
Highly-available 2-AZ VPC with public/private subnets, IGW, per-AZ NAT Gateways, private EC2 instances, Bastion Host, Auto Scaling Group and Application Load Balancer health checks.
Containerized Flask + MySQL + Nginx stack using Docker Compose with bridge networking, persistent named volume, healthchecks, environment-based credentials, non-root app container and resource limits.
Three-tier Spring Boot + MySQL expense application with Spring Security authentication, CRUD, filtering, Docker Compose networking and persistent storage.
End-to-end automated build and deployment workflow using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild and CodeDeploy to move changes through repeatable delivery stages.
Static portfolio deployment automated with GitHub Actions, AWS CLI, GitHub Secrets and IAM permissions — publishing changes to S3 on every push.
EXPERIENCE
Release validation, regression, functional, smoke and sanity testing across enterprise applications. API validation with Postman and backend checks using SQL, collaborating in Agile release cycles.
Performed vulnerability assessment and penetration testing in controlled lab environments using Nessus, Burp Suite and Nmap. Built strong Linux, networking and security fundamentals.
Worked with Active Directory and PowerShell to identify and resolve system vulnerabilities, while supporting Windows Autopilot deployments and endpoint management.
Built a foundation across programming, systems, security and software engineering while developing hands-on projects outside the classroom.
