About Me

I’ve faced the loss of several close relationships during my journey, but those challenges have strengthened my resilience. I’m committed to honoring those I’ve lost by working hard, growing through adversity, and building a future they would be proud of.

I am a seasoned technology professional with a strong foundation from my MS in IT, specializing in enterprise architecture and robust system design. My current focus is on bridging the gap between infrastructure scaling and data science as I pursue my Masters in AI.

My core expertise lies in DevOps Engineering, where I architect and automate highly available, scalable, and secure cloud environments (CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code).

The AI studies allow me to bring a critical MLOps perspective to my engineering, ensuring that machine learning models are not just built, but deployed, monitored, and maintained efficiently in production. I thrive at the intersection of reliable systems and cutting-edge data science.

My Value Proposition

  • Scalable Infrastructure: Expertise in Terraform, Kubernetes, and Cloud platforms (AWS/GCP) for high-performance systems.
  • AI Deployment: Focusing on MLOps, CI/CD for models, and data pipeline reliability.
  • Dual Master's Insight: Bringing advanced knowledge from both IT management and pure AI research.
