Work Experience
Independent Platform Engineering | AIOps / MLOps
Self-directed Specialization
• Currently advancing into Multi-cloud architecture, specializing in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) while maintaining a strong core in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). • Achieved 5 OCI Certifications (including Architect Associate & DevOps Professional) and currently preparing for the Google Professional Cloud Architect exam. • Designed and orchestrated production-grade infrastructure on OCI using Terraform (IaC), implementing automated compute, VCN networking, security lists, and OCI Container Registry. • I deployed VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro (AMD) instances and Docker to consolidate services, achieving a zero-month testing environment by strategically leveraging Always Free resources on Oracle Cloud. • Engineered end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions + Watchtower, achieving automated deployments in under 3 minutes upon git push. • Developed a full-stack portfolio (cloudfinetune.com) with Next.js, TypeScript, and Oracle Autonomous DB, implementing enterprise security via OCI Vault and Instance Principals for passwordless secret management. • I am expanding into the multi-cloud architecture of GCP and AWS while actively pursuing training in AI Platform Engineering (MLOps, AIOps, and LLM-based systems).
