Senior Cloud & DevOps engineer delivering secure AWS automation, CI/CD, and self-service tooling.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Cloud and DevOps engineer with 7+ years of IT experience and 6.5+ years in AWS cloud infrastructure, working on the Bristol Myers Squibb account at Brillio. I focus on building self-service tooling that reduces dependency on ops teams while keeping governance and security tight.
In 20+ AWS accounts under AWS Organizations, I manage VPC networking and IAM governance, including Permission Sets and Service Control Policies. I lead migrations such as moving 300+ developers from SVN to GitHub by automating repo extraction, configuring ALB for high availability, and enforcing branch protection and access controls.
I engineer CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and AWS CodeBuild, using BuildSpec-driven workflows to deploy CloudFormation stacks on every git push. I also delivered a serverless GitHub Developer Portal on Lambda and API Gateway to automate repo provisioning and team access, and built event-driven automation for EC2 patching via EventBridge-triggered Lambda.
I optimize cloud spend through EC2 right-sizing and scheduled start/stop for non-prod workloads, and I evaluate emerging capabilities like Amazon Bedrock for LLM-based cloud operations automation. My approach blends Terraform/CloudFormation Infrastructure as Code, Node.js scripting, and observability with CloudWatch and CloudTrail.
