Senior Software Engineer

As a Senior Software Engineer, I specialize in driving innovation where DevOps, Cloud, and AI converge. My passion lies in automating infrastructure, enhancing reliability, and streamlining development pipelines to deliver robust, scalable solutions. With hands-on expertise in CI/CD, cloud platforms, and containerization, I empower teams to achieve operational excellence and embrace new technologies for maximum efficiency. Recently, I’ve focused on Generative AI, exploring Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build smarter, context-aware systems. My mission is to enable organizations with intelligent, dynamic solutions that create lasting impact.
