What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my cloud expertise to drive impactful projects.

I am a Senior Infrastructure Software Engineer with over 6 years of experience in transforming cloud systems development, deployment, and integration. My expertise lies in designing and implementing scalable, secure cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP, while automating deployment through CI/CD practices and robust GitOps methodologies.

Throughout my career, I have authored custom applications and built RESTful APIs to streamline cloud environments and abstract complex infrastructure configurations. My technical proficiency includes FastAPI, Python, and Pulumi, which I leverage to minimize operational costs and enhance software delivery processes. I am also a 12x AWS Certified professional, including certifications in Solutions Architect and DevOps Engineer.
