I build secure Terraform-driven AWS and GCP cloud infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
I've led AWS and GCP cloud migration work at StarHub, designing VPC architecture, subnetting, route tables, IAM frameworks, and hybrid connectivity aligned with landing-zone principles.
I automate infrastructure and security policy provisioning with Terraform modules and CI/CD pipelines, reducing manual effort and configuration drift across cloud environments. My work also includes Palo Alto NGFW, Zscaler ZIA/ZPA, Zero Trust access, network segmentation, and incident root-cause analysis.
Previously at Verizon Business, I supported enterprise clients across APAC through connectivity architecture, firewall, VPN, proxy, identity integration, SIEM correlation, and regulated-environment compliance reviews.
I'm currently maintaining hands-on depth in Terraform, GCP, AWS networking, GKE, Cloud Run, and policy-as-code tooling while pursuing cloud platform engineering opportunities.
