Hello There!

I'm Almeid [al-med], and I've been in IT and software Quality Assurance since 2015. Starting my career with test automation and QA engineering, I discovered my passion for infrastructure and automation. In 2020, I made the exciting transition to DevOps, and I haven't looked back since!

Currently, I work as a DevOps Engineer at Litmus, where I focus on multi-cluster Kubernetes administration, CI/CD pipeline development, and cloud infrastructure management primarily on AWS. I hold three key certifications: CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator), AWS Solutions Architect Associate, and HashiCorp Terraform Associate, which reflect my commitment to continuous learning and professional growth.

Passionate about my work, I'm very detail-oriented and committed to delivering high-quality results. Over the past few years, I've built and managed cloud infrastructure using Terraform, orchestrated containerized applications with Kubernetes and Helm, and implemented comprehensive monitoring solutions with Prometheus and Grafana. Recognized for my diligence, I see myself as a dedicated team member who thrives in collaborative environments, but I'm also comfortable working independently.

My expertise uniquely combines QA and Test Automation with deep DevOps practices. This background gives me a holistic perspective on software delivery—from infrastructure provisioning and CI/CD development to automation, testing, and production deployment. I believe in infrastructure as code, automated testing, and building resilient systems that scale.

Don't hesitate to reach out! I'm always open to exploring new opportunities and collaborations in DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, Kubernetes, and Test Automation roles. Whether you need help with cloud migrations, infrastructure automation, or building robust CI/CD pipelines, I'd love to connect.
