Brian Gallant

I’m a results-driven Cloud Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience architecting, managing, and optimizing AWS and Azure cloud environments. I focus on reliability and security first—maintaining 99.9%+ uptime across production infrastructure.

I automate deployments with Terraform and help teams standardize releases using Kubernetes/EKS and Jenkins. I’ve also delivered measurable efficiency gains, including a 40% reduction in manual effort, plus cost optimization that recovered 15–20% of monthly cloud spend.

In my day-to-day work, I manage Kubernetes/EKS clusters for containerized workloads and build observability through AWS CloudWatch monitoring, alerting pipelines, runbooks, and incident documentation. I enforce secure cloud foundations with IAM policy enforcement and VPC configuration.

Earlier, I served as a Cloud Administrator supporting a 200+ user organization by administering AWS resources and managing Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Intune for identity lifecycle workflows. Before that, as an IT Technician in a HIPAA-regulated environment, I delivered proactive hardware/patching support with zero downtime during critical security patch windows and improved help-desk outcomes through clear documentation.
