I'm a Senior DevOps Engineer / SRE with 8+ years designing, automating, and scaling cloud-native infrastructure across healthcare, e-commerce, and telecom. My focus is Kubernetes orchestration, GitOps-driven CI/CD, and the observability stack that tells you when something's about to break — not after it has.

I've built DevOps functions from zero, run production clusters across multiple datacenters, and worked alongside 1,500+ engineers to ship infrastructure that doesn't page anyone at 3am. Currently based in Iran, actively relocating to Europe.
