Digital Craftsman (Cloud Engineer/ Platform Enginner /Solutions Architect/AIOps/DevSecOps)
- Cloud Infrastructure: Build API-driven AWS environments with modern patterns (VPC design, IAM, EKS, event-driven services).
- Automation & GitOps: Manage infrastructure with Terraform, GitOps workflows and fully automated delivery pipelines.
- Platform Engineering: Design internal platforms that offer self-service, secure defaults, and Infrastructure-as-APIs for developers.
- Security & Hardening: Apply cloud security controls, identity policies and network guardrails as part of the platform.
- Observability & AIOps: Set up metrics, logs, tracing and intelligent alerting to give teams real insight into system behavior.
- Languages: ✅Python, Golang, ✅Bash, ✅YAML
- IaC: Terraform, Crossplane, pulumi, Ansible
- Containers & Orchestration: ✅Docker, ✅Kubernetes, ✅Helm, ✅Kafka, ✅RabbitMQ
- cert-manager: ✅HasiCorp Vault, ✅Traefik, ✅AWS ACM
- CI/CD: ✅GitHub Actions, ✅Jenkins, ✅GitLab CI, ✅Trivy, ✅ArgoCD, ✅SonarQube, ✅OWASP
- Cloud: ✅AWS(EC2,S3,VPC,RDS,Lambda,API gateway,EKS), Azure, GCP
- Monitoring: ✅CloudWatch, ✅Prometheus, ✅Grafana, ✅Loki, ✅ElasticSearch, ✅OpenSearch, ✅Jaeger
- OS: ✅Linux (Ubuntu, Red Hat)
- Integration workflows — building modular, scalable systems that connect services and automate pipelines.
- DevSecOps — embedding security into every phase of the DevOps lifecycle, from CI/CD to runtime.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) — mastering tools like Terraform and Ansible to provision, manage, and audit infrastructure declaratively.
- Kubernetes — deploying, scaling, and securing containerized applications across clusters.
- Scripting for automation — using Bash and Python to streamline ops, monitor systems, and build reusable tools.

I’m a hands-on learner who believes real skills come from building, breaking, and fixing things.
Currently sharpening my expertise in System Designing, Infrastructure as APIs, GitOps, Observability & AIOps, Event-Driven Architecture & API Intelligence
💡 “Automation without security is just a faster way to get hacked — I build systems that do both.”
