About

Who I Am

I'm Thejana — a DevOps engineer passionate about building scalable, secure, and automated infrastructure. With hands-on experience in cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code, I focus on delivering robust DevOps solutions that streamline development and deployment processes with security embedded at every stage.

I have practical experience with tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes, working across both AWS and Azure cloud platforms. I actively build projects that apply real-world DevOps and DevSecOps principles — from provisioning multi-environment cloud infrastructure with Terraform to implementing end-to-end secure CI/CD pipelines with automated vulnerability scanning using tools like Semgrep, Trivy, Snyk, and Gitleaks.

I'm currently seeking opportunities to contribute to modern DevOps teams where I can grow my expertise, collaborate with others, and work on impactful systems. Whether it's infrastructure automation, CI/CD orchestration, or monitoring solutions, I'm eager to take on challenges that accelerate delivery and elevate reliability.
