@ermirzela
Cloud & DevOps Tech Lead building Azure/AWS/GCP governance, IaC, and CI/CD systems that cut enterprise cloud work from days to minutes.
What I'm looking for
I’ve been delivering Azure, AWS, and GCP platforms for enterprise clients, including Volkswagen and Carnival Corporation, with a focus on cloud governance and reliable delivery pipelines.
At Engineering Group (Costa Crociere / Carnival Corp.), I lead hybrid Azure/AWS cloud architecture and governance across 58 AWS accounts, acting as the technical reference for cross-functional stakeholders.
I’ve built automation that applies standardized cost governance tags across AWS accounts, ported an Azure deployment platform to AWS with SSM Run Command and cross-account IAM roles, and used parallel PowerShell runs to audit Windows Server fleets for .NET 6 exposure.
Earlier at Lufthansa Industry Solutions, I executed a large-scale AWS → GCP migration for Volkswagen, standardized CI/CD with Jenkins and GitHub Actions, and implemented security/compliance controls (network policies, secrets management, least-privilege IAM) with zero critical findings.
