Junior Cloud & DevOps Engineer building AWS/Azure infrastructure with Terraform, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Junior Cloud & DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience across AWS and Azure. In the past 30 days, I containerized a Python app with Docker, deployed it to Azure App Service via CI/CD, and provisioned AWS infrastructure with Terraform. With a BSc in Business Management, I think about infrastructure in terms of cost, risk, and delivery timelines.
I’m currently pursuing AZ-900 and AWS Cloud Practitioner certifications, and I’m intentionally building real deployment workflows—not just configurations. My day-to-day focus is making delivery reliable and repeatable using Infrastructure as Code and automated pipelines.
In my Dockerized Flask App project, I built a Flask web app, wrote a Dockerfile, pushed the image to Azure Container Registry, and deployed a live app on Azure App Service via CLI—zero portal clicks. I also built a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically builds and pushes a new Docker image to ACR on every push to main, cutting manual deployment to zero. For AWS, I wrote Terraform to provision an S3 bucket, configure static website hosting, and attach a public access policy with a full Terraform lifecycle (init, plan, apply, and destroy).
I enjoy reducing friction in operations, whether that’s deploying static sites using only the Azure CLI or keeping environments consistent through IaC. I’m actively learning Kubernetes (CKA track) to expand how I deliver and run services in modern cloud-native platforms. I want to keep building cloud systems that are secure, scalable, and fast to ship.
