DevOps Cloud Engineer automating AWS infrastructure with Terraform, CI/CD, and cost/security optimization.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven DevOps Cloud Engineer focused on designing and automating scalable cloud infrastructure with Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible. I bring a strong emphasis on reliability, performance, and operational excellence through repeatable delivery and measurable outcomes.
I’ve deployed and managed containerized workloads with Docker, ECS, Kubernetes, and EKS, improving deployment speed and troubleshooting effectiveness. I also run CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub, and AWS-native tooling to streamline build, test, and release workflows.
Cost and security are central to how I work. Through TCO analysis, I achieved a 30% cloud cost reduction while improving performance by 20%, and I apply AWS security best practices like least privilege, multi-factor authentication, and role-based access control.
I’ve led AWS migration efforts using AWS Migration Hub and Database Migration Service, working to minimize downtime for applications and databases. I also collaborate across disciplines—building machine learning pipelines with AWS SageMaker and MLFlow—while keeping documentation, requirements alignment, and communication tight.
