What I'm looking for

I seek a senior cloud role where I can lead architecture and DevOps initiatives, drive cost optimization and security, mentor teams, and deliver measurable business impact.

I am an AWS Certified Solution Architect with 13 years of experience designing scalable, resilient cloud solutions and driving DevOps transformations for enterprise platforms.

I architect multi-region, microservices-based systems and implement Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) to accelerate deployments and improve reliability while reducing incident rates.

I led cloud optimization and governance initiatives that delivered $1.2M annual savings, reduced critical incidents by 85%, and accelerated release cycles by 70% through automation and tagging frameworks.

I provide technical leadership and mentorship, champion security best practices (HashiCorp Vault, automated vulnerability scanning), and continuously learn advanced DevOps, Kubernetes cost optimization, and FinOps techniques to drive measurable business outcomes.
