What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own and improve production AWS platforms, from infrastructure automation and CI/CD to reliability, security, performance, and incident response.

At Together Light, I own AWS infrastructure and on-call operations for ChristianFilipina.com and six sister sites, supporting a live 24×7 consumer platform. I run production environments, migrations, CI/CD, monitoring, security, incident response, and cost optimisation.

I led the PHP 7.3 to 8.4 migration with a weighted canary rollout, migrated 41 cron jobs with zero runtime errors, and automated Aurora writer restoration with Python and boto3. I also improved an admin reports page from 6.25 seconds to 1.46 seconds, strengthened platform security, and close incidents with RCAs and guardrails.

Previously, I built Scout's 250M+ record OpenSearch data platform and reduced external API costs by about 70%. Across Zil Money and CASTME, I designed secure AWS architectures, built Terraform-driven infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines, tested disaster recovery, and ran cloud platforms for fintech, ride-hailing, SaaS, and ML products.
