      Experienced Senior DevOps Architect with Comprehensive Expertise in Architecture Design and Hands-On Implementation


      With over a decade of experience in developing, optimizing, and automating modern software and product delivery processes, I bring extensive knowledge in DevOps practices and architecture. I have designed and implemented complex cloud infrastructures and CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast, reliable, and secure deployments. My focus is on combining strategic architecture design with practical implementation?always aiming to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and leverage innovative technologies.

      I specialize in designing scalable, high-availability cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and implementing them using modern tools such as Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes. Leveraging Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), I create efficient and reproducible processes.
      I have built numerous end-to-end delivery pipelines that reduced software delivery times from weeks to minutes, emphasizing automation, quality assurance, and security integration (DevSecOps).
      As a certified Kanban Trainer (AKT) and Agile Coach, I assist teams in adopting Lean principles and DevOps practices to make projects more efficient and transparent.
      With a deep understanding of machine learning and AI technologies, I help organizations seamlessly integrate AI-based solutions into existing processes, focusing on accelerated delivery while ensuring compliance and security.

      My strong leadership skills have enabled me to lead cross-functional teams of up to 90 members, collaborating closely with developers, UX/UI designers, and product managers to bring technical visions to life successfully.
