@johnmanuel
I build resilient, cost-optimized AWS platforms through DevOps and automation.
PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
At Etrading Software Ltd Philippines Inc., I lead a three-engineer platform team operating latency-sensitive streaming infrastructure, cutting environment setup from one week to two days through Terraform and CI/CD automation. I also architected a CloudFront and S3 frontend migration that delivered 25% cost savings and led disaster-recovery rehearsal efforts for banking clients.
I've managed AWS environments, databases, and IT operations for a startup at Peddlr, reduced a client's EC2 compute costs by about 50% at Computer Professionals Inc., and supported large-scale AWS operations and cloud migrations at VBusiness Software & Solutions. I bring five years of cloud and DevOps experience, AWS architecture knowledge, FinOps discipline, and a rigorous engineering approach developed across international EPC projects.
