I build and support reliable multi-cloud infrastructure, automation, and incident response across AWS and Azure.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting production AWS infrastructure and Linux-based systems at Premier NX, where I investigate alerts, troubleshoot incidents, manage IAM access, coordinate outage bridges, and improve monitoring visibility.
I've built cloud-native workloads across AWS and Azure using Terraform, CloudFormation, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD tooling. My projects include a secure AWS VPC architecture, Terraform-provisioned Azure infrastructure, and Kubernetes-based microservices deployments with PostgreSQL and Redis.
At NexCell Solutions, I contribute to FastAPI services integrated with Supabase and PostgreSQL, containerized deployment workflows, and GitHub Actions and ArgoCD pipelines. I also use AI-assisted workflows for scripting, incident triage, log analysis, and runbook automation.
Before moving into cloud engineering, I led operations and cross-functional teams at US Apparel & Textiles, strengthening my approach to process compliance, risk assessment, planning, and operational reliability.
