What I'm looking for

I’m seeking junior or trainee/associate opportunities in cloud engineering, cloud support, cloud security, DevOps, infrastructure, or network and cloud support. I’m open to worldwide remote work and willing to discuss hybrid, on-site, or relocation arrangements where feasible.

Across 41 independent AWS projects, I’ve built and tested cloud architectures, security controls, automation, and recovery workflows. In a multi-region disaster-recovery lab, I implemented active-passive recovery and measured recovery in approximately 35–40 seconds.

My projects emphasize evidence: I test failure paths, investigate root causes, and document fixes and trade-offs. I also created a Terraform delivery pipeline using GitHub Actions and short-lived AWS credentials, and a network monitoring stack with Prometheus and Grafana. These are independent labs and case studies, not paid employment or production ownership.
