What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my cloud expertise to drive digital transformation and optimize infrastructure.

I am a seasoned Cloud Architect with over 10 years of experience in system administration, DevOps, and cloud engineering. My journey has been marked by a commitment to designing, implementing, and optimizing cloud infrastructures that drive operational excellence and business agility. As an AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional, I have a proven track record in managing Kubernetes clusters, automating CI/CD pipelines, and leveraging the AWS Well-Architected Framework to deliver scalable and cost-efficient solutions.

In my current role as a Platform Engineer at ApeFactory, I provide technical guidance on DevOps practices and have successfully reduced deployment errors through effective CI/CD strategies. My previous experience at ARCAPayments involved leading infrastructure and DevOps initiatives, where I designed capacity planning strategies that significantly improved performance and cost optimization. I thrive on collaborating with cross-functional teams and C-suite executives to align IT strategies with business goals, ensuring compliance and high availability across cloud environments.
