What I'm looking for

I'm open to full-time cloud and DevOps roles in Canada, plus remote contract and freelance engagements worldwide. I want to own cloud modernization, infrastructure automation, CI/CD, and reliable platform delivery from legacy systems through cloud-native operations.

At Harris Computer, I design and maintain Terraform, Terragrunt, and Ansible infrastructure across AWS environments, migrate on-premises systems to cloud services, and build Bitbucket CI/CD pipelines with Docker and GitOps practices.

I've delivered cloud migrations, infrastructure automation, and deployment platforms for GFT, Connectist, and Instituto Atlântico. My work has reduced environment setup time by about 65%, manual infrastructure intervention by about 40%, and deployment time by about 30%.

I work comfortably across AWS, OCI, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, observability, Linux, Windows Server, and networking. I've supported enterprise banking, healthcare, research, analytics, and product teams while owning projects from legacy on-premises infrastructure to cloud-native delivery.

With 13+ years in IT and AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner status, I'm also exploring AI-assisted engineering workflows with OpenAI, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and custom automation agents.
