What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a cloud-focused role where I can lead migrations and reliability work, mentor teams, automate operations, and deliver secure, cost-efficient AWS solutions in a collaborative, improvement-focused environment.

I am an AWS-focused Cloud Support Engineer and Systems Administrator with extensive experience designing, deploying, and supporting scalable AWS infrastructures, migrating on-premises workloads, and optimizing cloud cost and performance. I have led production incident triage, implemented Infrastructure-as-Code with CloudFormation/Terraform, and delivered measurable uptime, cost savings, and improved customer satisfaction.

I have also served as a Technical Team Lead and System Administrator, improving operational processes, automation, and team performance across telephony and workflow systems. I mentor junior engineers, create technical documentation and runbooks, and prioritize secure, reliable solutions that align with business goals.
