I'm building Python-based cloud solutions at GlobalLogic, following nearly three years designing and implementing AWS systems at Amazon Web Services.

At Elsevier, I automated more than 450 monthly support tickets with Python, AWS Lambda, and API Gateway, cutting resolution time from five days to five minutes. I've also deployed EKS clusters, built infrastructure as code, and run lunch-and-learn sessions on programming and AWS.
