What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning in cloud technologies.

I am a dedicated AWS Solutions Architect and DevOps Engineer with a strong background in cloud computing, systems administration, and automation. My journey began with a BSc in Accounting, followed by an MBA in Accounting and Finance, which has equipped me with a unique perspective on the intersection of technology and business. I have honed my skills through various roles, including as an Auditor, where I conducted financial audits and improved internal controls for small businesses, and as a DevOps Engineer, where I designed and implemented CI/CD pipelines and managed cloud infrastructure on AWS.

At Masters Group, I successfully deployed and managed cloud infrastructure, automated processes using Infrastructure as Code, and fostered a DevOps culture among teams. Currently, I am developing the EasyTravel booking platform, where I architected the system and integrated payment gateways, enhancing user experience and operational efficiency. My passion for technology drives me to continuously improve and innovate, ensuring that I deliver high-quality solutions that meet business needs.
