DevOps Engineer

A dedicated DevOps Engineer and Software Engineer with over 5 years of experience in delivering robust technical solutions across various high-tech environments. My journey began when I was 13, building my own website about math, which sparked my interest in technology. This interest grew as I delved into Robotics, and later, I joined the MIT program through MEET.

I studied Computer Science, Business Entrepreneurship, and Leadership, which laid a strong foundation for my career. After graduating, I volunteered and worked as a Computer Science TA, followed by roles as a NOC & SOC Engineer and Cloud TechOps Engineer at ExLibris and Clarivate, where I honed my skills and expertise in cloud infrastructure, automation, and system reliability.

Currently, I am focused on my role as a DevOps Engineer while continuing to expand my knowledge and skills in software engineering. Programming is more than just a profession for me; it is a passion that drives me to stay updated with the latest trends and technologies. I am eager to contribute to impactful projects and continue growing within the tech community.
