Sammy Basem Awad

I am a dedicated and results-oriented Computer Science graduate from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), originally hailing from Knoxville, Tennessee. With several years of experience in DevOps roles, I have consistently focused on driving efficiency, scalability, and delivering robust solutions from concept to deployment.

My journey began with a solid academic foundation at UTK, which seamlessly transitioned into practical applications in the tech industry. I discovered my passion for DevOps, a field that aligns perfectly with my goal of optimizing workflows, automating tasks, and promoting seamless collaboration.

I possess hands-on expertise throughout the entire DevOps lifecycle. This includes designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, and CircleCI to expedite software delivery. I am skilled in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform and Ansible, managing cloud resources across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Additionally, I have experience with containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes, where I have developed scalable microservice architectures.

In addition to my technical skills, I take pride in my problem-solving abilities and proactive mindset. I thrive in dynamic environments, always on the lookout for new technologies to improve system performance and reliability. I am a strong proponent of best practices in version control, monitoring, and logging, utilizing tools like Git, Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack.

Collaboration and communication are at the heart of my professional philosophy. I have consistently worked closely with development, QA, and operations teams, fostering a culture of shared responsibility. I am eager to leverage my extensive DevOps experience to tackle new challenges and contribute to innovative solutions.
