What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth in cloud technologies.

I am a Cloud Architect and IT Service Leader with over 15 years of experience in designing and delivering secure, scalable, and resilient infrastructure across hybrid and cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and VMware. My expertise lies in driving DevOps practices, Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform and Ansible, and implementing CI/CD pipelines while ensuring system monitoring, capacity planning, and cloud governance in regulated sectors such as finance, nonprofit, and health.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a proven ability to resolve incidents, conduct root cause analysis, and automate processes using Python, Bash, and PowerShell. I have a strong background in cloud security and identity and access management (IAM), with hands-on experience in container technologies like Docker and Kubernetes. As a strong communicator and mentor, I am committed to operational excellence, thorough documentation, and aligning stakeholders across the system lifecycle.
