╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Full-stack engineer turned DevOps & Cloud Engineer.
Currently building a complete GitOps platform on AWS EKS as a portfolio flagship: Terraform provisions the infrastructure, GitHub Actions ships the containers, ArgoCD delivers them, and Prometheus + Grafana watch it all run.
Systems depth: 120hrs of enterprise Linux (ProLUG LAC) — I know what's happening below the container layer.
Background: 4+ years of full-stack development (Laravel · React) that makes me dangerous — I understand the apps I'm deploying.
cloud_and_infrastructure:
- AWS (EKS · ECR · ALB · IAM OIDC · VPC · RDS · S3)
- Terraform # modular IaC, remote state, multi-env
- Ansible # automation, hardening, configuration management
orchestration_and_gitops:
- Kubernetes · Helm
- ArgoCD # GitOps continuous delivery
ci_cd:
- GitHub Actions # OIDC-authenticated, zero static credentials
- Docker # multi-stage builds, image optimization
observability:
- Prometheus · Grafana · Loki · Alertmanager
devsecops:
- Trivy # container image scanning
- Checkov # IaC policy enforcement
- SonarQube
