Graduated

2022 June - 2023 March

Actively working with Linux Bash, MySQL, and Linux Networking, I have developed pipelines using Jenkins. I have also implemented Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles with Terraform, configuring various services such as Amazon RDS (MySQL). My orchestration skills include managing instances with Ansible in both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services environments. This comprehensive skill set was acquired through immersive hands-on experiences, practical application in real-world scenarios, and guidance from seasoned mentors.
