What I'm looking for
At Faceview, I design, deploy, and maintain AWS infrastructure for production workloads. I use Terraform to automate provisioning and support deployments through Git and Jenkins.
Before cloud engineering, I was CEO and Cloud & Systems Architect at Green Space Holdings, where I architected cloud infrastructure and enterprise systems and helped secure over $27M in funding. I’m CompTIA Security+ certified and am open to remote AWS Cloud Engineer and DevOps roles.
