What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an AWS/cloud and SRE-focused role where I can build resilient architectures, automate CI/CD and infrastructure, and strengthen security while optimizing cost and reliability for real business outcomes.

I’m an AWS Cloud Engineer with over 4 years of experience designing and implementing scalable cloud solutions across e-commerce and financial services. I’ve architected hybrid connectivity using AWS Direct Connect and strengthened performance with CloudFront and Elastic Load Balancing, reducing downtime by 30%.

I streamline delivery with AWS CodePipeline and CodeDeploy (plus Jenkins/GitLab CI), cutting release times from days to hours. I also optimize cost and availability using AWS Auto Scaling and EC2 Spot Instances, while building resilient infrastructure through Infrastructure as Code with CloudFormation and Terraform.

My approach is security-first: I apply AWS IAM best practices, encryption with AWS KMS, and MFA, along with monitoring via CloudWatch and X-Ray. I collaborate closely with development and operations teams to deliver business-critical outcomes that are efficient, reliable, and operationally sound.
