I am a Senior Cloud Engineer specializing in AWS infrastructure, IaC, and cost-optimized scalable solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Cloud Engineer with experience architecting and deploying scalable AWS infrastructures across BFSI and enterprise environments.
I have led end-to-end migrations of on-premises infrastructure to AWS, built Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform and CloudFormation, established CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitHub Actions, and implemented containerization with ECS/EKS to improve deployment speed and reliability. I also drove cost-optimization initiatives achieving a reduction in cloud spend and cut operational costs on a high-traffic product.
I thrive collaborating with cross-functional teams to align architecture with business goals and seek roles where I can architect resilient, automated cloud platforms and mentor teams on best practices.
