What I'm looking for

I seek senior cloud roles focused on multi-cloud architecture, automation, and security (HIPAA), with opportunities for technical leadership and cross-functional collaboration.

I am a Senior Cloud Engineer with over 12 years of experience designing, building, and automating enterprise multi-cloud infrastructures across AWS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

I have a strong focus on cloud networking, disaster recovery, and security, having implemented AWS Control Tower, Landing Zones, Direct Connect, and OCI Fast Connect for robust, high-availability architectures.

My technical practice emphasizes Infrastructure as Code and automation using Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Python, and PowerShell, along with CI/CD integration via Jenkins and Docker to streamline deployments and enforce compliance.

I have led SIEM and monitoring initiatives, enforced HIPAA controls in healthcare environments, and partnered with cross-functional teams to align cloud strategies with business objectives while documenting processes for continuity.
