01 — About

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.
