IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 12+ years of industrial engineering experience (cement & pharmaceutical manufacturing), now fully focused on cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices. I bring rare domain knowledge of operational reliability, system uptime, and incident response—applied directly to designing and managing resilient cloud environments.
On the technical side, I’m hands-on with AWS (EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, RDS, CloudWatch, Auto Scaling, Route 53) and Linux administration, with a strong focus on automation, monitoring, and operational excellence. Through my GitHub projects, I’ve implemented EC2 web hosting, S3 static hosting with versioning and cross-region replication, multi-tier VPC networking, CloudWatch alerting, least-privilege IAM, and fault-tolerant auto-scaling with load balancing. I’m currently pursuing AWS Solutions Architect – Associate certification.
