At CloudThat Technologies, I've automated and operated AWS and Azure infrastructure for production and client environments, reducing manual operational effort by 80% and delivering recurring cloud cost savings of 20%+.

I've led AWS Well-Architected reviews across 10+ client accounts, improved cost management by 25%, remediated IAM and GuardDuty findings, and implemented least-privilege IAM/RBAC controls. I also designed Azure tenant-to-tenant migrations with under two hours of downtime while maintaining data integrity and compliance.

I build repeatable infrastructure with Terraform, Python/Boto3, AWS Lambda, Kubernetes, Docker, and Azure DevOps pipelines. My work includes EC2 and RDS lifecycle automation, S3 workflows, EKS hardening, high-availability Azure VM Scale Set deployments, and incident response supporting a 99.9% uptime SLA.

I've also mentored junior engineers and interns on cloud fundamentals, Infrastructure as Code, and incident response for client-facing work.
