About Me
I'm a DevOps Engineer based in Istanbul, with experience in designing and optimizing CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and monitoring solutions. I leverage hands-on knowledge of technologies like AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes to help teams deploy their applications faster and more reliably. I focus on implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices and building automated, scalable solutions that continuously evolve with modern development workflows. I'm still on my journey toward deep expertise in this area and strive to improve my skills every day. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from Kocaeli University and have since started my professional career. I'm truly passionate about working, creating, and constantly learning new things.
