Hi, I'm Yücel Fuat İpek
~$ Senior DevOps & AI Engineer_
I design and automate scalable cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines — and now build AI-driven platforms with RAG, LLM workflows and MLOps.
DevOps, AI & Cloud Specialist
I am a DevOps Engineer with a strong background in cloud infrastructure, automation, and CI/CD pipelines, now focused on AI-driven platforms including RAG, LLM workflows, and MLOps.
With hands-on expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, and GitLab CI/CD, I thrive in designing and optimizing scalable, high-performance systems.
Beyond engineering, my experience in public speaking, training, and technical support equips me with the skills to bridge the gap between technical solutions and business needs.
