Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer

As a Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer, I implement robust processes and leverage advanced capabilities throughout the entire systems development lifecycle, adhering to Google-recommended methodologies and tools. My primary focus is to enable efficient software and infrastructure delivery, skillfully balancing reliability with deployment speed, while also diligently optimizing and maintaining production systems and services to ensure peak performance and stability.

My expertise extends to bootstrapping and maintaining resilient Google Cloud organizations, which involves designing effective resource hierarchies, managing infrastructure as code with tools such as Terraform and Config Connector, and establishing secure cloud development environments. I am proficient in designing, building, and implementing comprehensive CI/CD pipelines for both applications and infrastructure, leveraging tools like Cloud Build and Cloud Deploy, and integrating with widely used third-party solutions like Jenkins and Argo CD, all while meticulously managing configurations, secrets, and ensuring robust pipeline security.

Furthermore, I apply Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles to applications by defining clear Service Level Objectives (SLOs), effectively managing service lifecycles from inception to retirement, and implementing strategies to mitigate incident impact. To maintain operational excellence, I establish thorough observability practices, encompassing comprehensive log and metric management, insightful dashboards, and proactive alerting. My capabilities also cover optimizing system performance, troubleshooting diverse issues across infrastructure, applications, and CI/CD pipelines, and strategically managing resource utilization and costs within the Google Cloud ecosystem, including leveraging AI tools like Gemini Code Assist to enhance development and operations.
