Professional summary
Senior DevOps Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience designing CI/CD, containerizing applications, running Kubernetes clusters and monitoring production infrastructure across banking, fintech, insurance and telecom. I have owned the full CI/CD chain for organizations such as Taavon Development Bank, Islamic Azad University and Tipax.
Using GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD, Helm and Docker I cut deployment time by 70%, and with Prometheus, Grafana and ELK reached 99.95% uptime. I integrate DevSecOps (Trivy, Gitleaks, SonarQube, ZAP) into pipelines and run self-hosted team platforms such as GitLab, Harbor, Nexus and Mattermost.
