@raulpallas
I engineer secure AWS/Azure infrastructure and SRE systems for reliable, cost-optimized operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Cloud Engineer with comprehensive experience across the infrastructure lifecycle—pre-sales, design, implementation, and operations. I specialize in AWS and Azure architectures, with a strong focus on microservices adoption, security, observability, and cost optimization, while aligning client solutions to the AWS Well-Architected Framework.
I automate complex environments using IaC (Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation) and modern DevOps tooling to improve reliability and operational visibility. From managing critical AWS infrastructure for finance and logistics clients (automated backup/retention, WAF perimeter security, Linux hardening, and log-based reporting) to designing secure VPN-connected AWS/Azure infrastructure, I turn requirements into production-ready platforms that reduce friction and enable confident cloud migrations.
