About

I work on administering secure and performance-driven Azure Kubernetes infrastructure and automating CI/CD pipelines. My work includes cloud-native application deployments through Azure services such as AKS, Application Gateway, App Services, Application Insights, Azure DNS, Traffic Manager, VNets, subnets, VPNs, identity integration, encryption, monitoring, and security controls.

I focus on improving infrastructure reliability, security, scalability, release execution, and operational visibility while collaborating with development, product, support, and cross-functional teams.
