Aqib Javaid

I am a DevOps Engineer with over three years of experience, strong understanding of DevOps principles, and proficiency in scripting languages (Bash, Python, PowerShell). I have expertise in Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) using Terraform/CloudFormation.

My experience includes CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab), integrating SonarQube for code quality, and automating security testing in CI/CD pipelines (OWASP ZAP, Snyk). I excel in automation, agile development, and thrive in fast-paced, multitasking environments.

With excellent communication skills, I promote team-centric collaboration within distributed teams. I have deployed monitoring/logging infrastructure (Prometheus, Nagios, Datadog) and possess comprehensive knowledge of Linux.

I am eager to contribute my skills to your company and drive its DevOps initiatives. Please find my resume attached. I am available for an interview at your convenience.
