01. About Me

Firdavs Samadov

I'm a DevOps and Cloud Engineer with a foundation in networking (Cisco CCNA) and systems administration, passionate about building reliable, scalable infrastructure and automating everything that can be automated.

I work across the full infrastructure stack — from provisioning cloud resources with Terraform, to containerizing applications with Docker, deploying on Kubernetes (k3s and EKS), and setting up GitOps pipelines with ArgoCD.

My approach to infrastructure is security-first — I integrate scanning tools (Trivy, Checkov, Gitleaks) directly into CI pipelines so security is enforced automatically, not as an afterthought.

On the observability side, I build monitoring stacks with Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki — because you can't operate what you can't see.
