More About Me!

I am a DevOps Engineer with a foundation in cloud administration (mainly AWS), Linux administration, and DevOps related tasks. In my current role, I manage and optimise CI/CD pipelines, automate routine tasks using bash scripting, and oversee Infrastructure as Code (IaC) processes to enhance system efficiency and reliability. I also have experience with basic AI work, utilising APIs to integrate intelligent solutions into projects.

Alongside my technical expertise, I have developed a foundational understanding of project management, where I have supported the delivery of technical projects by coordinating resources, timelines, and tasks. With a deep passion for both technology and leadership, my goal is to transition into a technical project management role. I aim to leverage my DevOps experience to take on more responsibility in managing projects, leading cross-functional teams, and ensuring the timely and effective delivery of complex technical solutions. I believe my background in DevOps, combined with my interest in strategic planning and leadership, will enable me to drive innovation and contribute to the success of future projects.
