🔹 As a seasoned DevOps Engineer, I bring a unique blend of skills in CI/CD pipeline design, containerisation, orchestration, and cloud technologies. I have a proven track record of leveraging tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, and Terraform to automate and streamline operations, ensuring efficient and reliable deployment processes.

🔹 My work at Rapid Solutions has allowed me to demonstrate my ability to implement robust and scalable cloud-based solutions using AWS technologies. I've leveraged EC2 instances, RDS databases, and AWS Lambda for serverless computing, managing complex data pipelines and optimising data schemas. Engineered an automated system leveraging AWS services including Lambda, S3, SNS, and IAM, using Python and Boto3.

🔹 I have a strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, and computer science, which has been instrumental in my data-driven approach to problem-solving. This has been particularly useful in my work with machine learning techniques, where I've applied my skills in data analysis, visualisation, and big data automation to real-world challenges.

🔹 My technical skills extend to Python, Helm and Kustomize, GoLang, Docker/Rancher, Kubernetes and Operators, Ansible, Terraform, and CI/CD. I am proficient in shell scripting, which I've used extensively to automate tasks and manage deployments.

🔹 My GitHub repositories reflect my hands-on experience with various projects. For instance, I've developed an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline for a Java application using Jenkins, SonarQube, Argo CD, and Kubernetes. This project showcased my ability to automate the entire process from code checkout, build, test, code quality analysis, to deployment.

🔹 One of my notable projects involved developing a machine learning model by implementing the best practices of MLOps using Streamlit for predicting Airbnb listing prices. I used Docker for containerisation and Kubernetes for orchestration. This project involved creating a network between two Docker containers and automating the process of building and deploying Docker images through GitHub Actions, showcasing my expertise in automating and streamlining operations.

🔹 I am always seeking opportunities to grow and learn. My unique blend of DevOps and data science skills enables me to deliver comprehensive solutions that drive efficiency and innovation. I am passionate about developing customised solutions and delivering tangible value to clients.
