So — hi, I'm a DevOps Engineer, and I'm excited to be here!<br> What I do<br> I work at the intersection of development and operations — containerizing apps, automating deployments, managing cloud infrastructure, and making sure things don't break in production (most of the time 😅).<br> My core stack:</p> <p>🐳 Docker &amp; Kubernetes — containerization and orchestration<br> ☁️ AWS — EKS, ECR, IAM, DynamoDB<br> 🔁 Jenkins — CI/CD pipelines with SonarQube code quality checks<br> 📊 Prometheus &amp; Grafana — monitoring and alerting</p> <p>What I recently built<br> My latest project is a production-grade ecommerce platform built entirely on microservices — 15 independent backend services, each with its own database, orchestrated on AWS EKS.<br> Some highlights:</p> <p>15 microservices (user, product, cart, order, payment, search, chatbot, and more)<br> API Gateway handling routing, authentication, and rate limiting<br> Jenkins pipeline that builds, tests with SonarQube, and deploys all services to EKS automatically<br> Prometheus + Grafana dashboards for real-time monitoring<br> Database-per-service pattern for true microservice independence</p> <p>It was a deep dive into what it actually takes to run a distributed system at scale — and I learned more from debugging it than from any course.<br> Why I joined DEV.to<br> I want to:<br> ✅ Write technical articles that go beyond tutorials — real architecture decisions, real tradeoffs<br> ✅ Share what I learn building production infrastructure<br> ✅ Connect with DevOps, cloud, and backend engineers<br> ✅ Get better at communicating complex systems simply<br> Fun fact<br> I've written more YAML than actual application code in the past 6 months. And I'm not sorry about it. 🐳</p> <p>If you're into DevOps, Kubernetes, AWS, or microservices — let's connect!
