I am a Cloud/DevOps engineer optimizing AWS infrastructure, automation, and CI/CD for enterprise and startup success.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Cloud/DevOps engineer with hands-on experience designing, deploying, and securing scalable AWS infrastructure for both enterprise and startup environments. I focus on automation, reliability, and cost optimization to deliver measurable business value.
At AIG I supported enterprise AWS infrastructure, resolved a high volume of tickets daily, automated EC2 provisioning and patching with Bash and Terraform, and maintained secure multi-account IAM and VPC architectures.
As a freelance consultant I migrated legacy web apps to AWS with 99.9% uptime, built reusable Terraform modules, deployed Dockerized microservices to EKS, and implemented CI/CD pipelines that reduced delivery time by 40%.
As founder of an e-commerce business I integrated Shopify with AWS Lambda and DynamoDB to cut manual workflows by 75%, built a Flask API for content automation, and optimized media delivery with S3 and CloudFront to improve page load times.
