Linux Infrastructure & Automation Engineer

I am a Linux Infrastructure & Automation Engineer with 5.5+ years of experience supporting enterprise Linux environments and business-critical production systems.
My professional experience is focused on Linux administration, infrastructure automation, troubleshooting, incident management, RCA, provisioning, storage, virtualization, and production operations. I have supported 5,000+ virtual machines across Azure and VMware environments and automated recurring operational tasks using Ansible, Bash/Shell, and Python, reducing manual effort by up to 80%.
I am currently expanding this foundation into Kubernetes and AWS EKS through hands-on labs and engineering projects. My cloud-native work covers Kubernetes deployments, networking, storage, Helm, AWS Load Balancer Controller, Gateway API, IRSA, EKS Pod Identity, Prometheus, and Grafana.

Core experience includes RHEL/AlmaLinux/CentOS, production troubleshooting, incident response, RCA, storage, virtualization, patching, PXE/Kickstart provisioning, and infrastructure automation using Ansible, Bash/Shell, and Python.
This production Linux foundation is the base for my current transition toward SRE and platform engineering through hands-on Kubernetes, AWS EKS, and observability projects.
I share hands-on content around Linux infrastructure, automation, Kubernetes, AWS EKS, DevOps and cloud-native engineering — with a focus on practical labs, troubleshooting, and lessons learned while building infrastructure.
The channel complements my portfolio projects by documenting the how and why behind the infrastructure I build and the problems I troubleshoot.
Visit YouTube ChannelBuilt a production-style learning project on Amazon EKS to develop practical experience with managed Kubernetes and AWS-native integrations. The project is a hands-on engineering environment, not a claim of production-scale EKS administration.
Implemented the environment two ways to compare identity and routing approaches end-to-end: OIDC + IRSA + Gateway API on one path, and EKS Pod Identity + Kubernetes Ingress on the other — both using the AWS Load Balancer Controller for ALB-based routing.
Deployed a Flask portfolio application backed by a MySQL StatefulSet with persistent storage via the Amazon EBS CSI Driver, and instrumented the cluster with Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring. All workloads are shipped via Helm.

Uses PXE Boot for network-based OS installation, Kickstart for unattended deployment, local HTTP repositories for controlled package access, and Ansible Pull for post-install configuration.
Reduced manual provisioning effort and enabled consistent, repeatable, and scalable infrastructure deployment across lab systems running RHEL 8.3 and RHEL 10.

Hands-on EKS project with two parallel implementations (OIDC+IRSA+Gateway API vs Pod Identity+Ingress) for a Flask + MySQL platform, including ALB routing, EBS-backed storage, and Prometheus/Grafana monitoring.

View project →Deployed a Flask-based portfolio application on a self-managed Kubernetes cluster using Deployments, Services, StatefulSets, Secrets, and ConfigMaps, with persistent storage via PV/PVC and a MySQL StatefulSet. Integrated Prometheus, Grafana, readiness/liveness probes, and Helm-based deployments — the foundation that led to the EKS project above.
