I am a dedicated Cloud Engineer and AWS Certified Solutions Architect with over 10 years of experience in IT infrastructure and network management. My journey has equipped me with the skills to design secure and scalable cloud solutions that significantly reduce operational costs.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Technical Supervisor and IT Infrastructure Support Supervisor, where I managed teams and supervised critical IT projects. I have designed CI/CD pipelines on AWS cloud using Linux VMs, Docker as containers with Kubernetes as orchestrator. My IaC tool has been Cloudformation & Terraform for cloud, Ansible, puppet, Bash script amd Python for automation. My commitment to excellence is evident in my ability to train and mentor junior technicians, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and to the highest standards.
