Hi, I read your requirements carefully — you need someone who can own the infrastructure end-to-end, not just execute tasks. That's exactly what I deliver. I'm a Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 5+ years managing production Linux servers, Azure VMs, and AKS clusters. I've implemented container orchestration at scale, led L3 incident response under SLA pressure, and built CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment times by over 60%. Here's what I'll bring to your project specifically: ✅ Linux/VM/AKS deployment — I manage AKS clusters daily, including node pool scaling, nodeSelector management, and rolling upgrades with zero downtime. ✅ Container orchestration — Kubernetes, Helm charts, and multi-tenant workload isolation are core to my day-to-day work. ✅ Testing strategies — I design and execute end-to-end test plans for both infrastructure and containerised applications. ✅ L3 support & incident response — I've resolved critical production outages using KQL in Azure Log Analytics, Application Gateway correlation, and real-time tracing. ✅ Compliance & documentation — I create runbooks, architecture diagrams, and audit-ready documentation as a standard deliverable, not an afterthought. ✅ Capacity planning — I use Azure Monitor, resource graphs, and trend analysis to proactively recommend right-sizing before problems hit. I don't just complete tasks — I flag risks early, communicate clearly, and leave your systems better than I found them. Looking forward to working with you
