Hi, my name is
Daniel Gitari.
I design and implement cloud-native infrastructure solutions that deliver high availability, scalability, and operational excellence. With 5+ years of hands-on experience across AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes, I translate complex requirements into automated, secure, and cost-effective systems.
01.About Me
Cloud Architecture
Designing scalable infrastructure on AWS with EKS, VPC, IAM, and CloudFormation for production-grade workloads.
Automation & CI/CD
Building end-to-end pipelines with Argo CD, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and custom Bash/Python scripts.
Observability & SRE
Implementing monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, and CloudWatch for proactive incident response.
I'm a DevOps Engineer / Solutions Architect with over 5 years of experience designing cloud-native infrastructure. My expertise spans AWS, Microsoft Azure, and VMware platforms, with deep hands-on knowledge of container orchestration, infrastructure as code, and observability at scale.
I hold AWS Cloud Solutions Architect and Cloud Practitioner certifications, and I'm passionate about translating complex technical requirements into automated, secure, and cost-effective solutions.
