A developer turned DevOps Engineer with a passion for automating everything.
I started out as a full-stack engineer shipping MERN and Next.js products — APIs, auth, databases, the usual. Somewhere along the way I realized the part I loved most was how things ship: pipelines, containers, cloud, the systems underneath. So I'm deliberately shifting into Cloud & DevOps engineering — AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps — while keeping the full-stack context that makes me a better platform engineer.
- 🛠️ Currently going deep on AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Argo CD, and GitHub Actions
- ☁️ Hands-on with EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, Route 53, CloudFront, IAM, CloudWatch
- 🐳 Containerizing real apps with Docker, orchestrating with Kubernetes + Helm
- 🔁 Wiring CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Argo CD (GitOps)
- 🏗️ BS Computer Science from FAST NUCES (2025)
- 💼 Full-Stack Developer @ Metaviz — MERN, Next.js, AI integrations, n8n automations
