What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cloud/platform role focused on AWS/Kubernetes, automation, observability, and collaborative DevOps culture with opportunities to improve reliability and cost efficiency.

I am a Cloud Platform Engineer with 6+ years designing, automating, and optimizing scalable AWS infrastructure, managing Kubernetes (EKS), and building CI/CD automation to enable resilient, secure platforms.

I've led cost-reduction initiatives, implemented IaC with Terraform and CloudFormation, improved availability with monitoring and SRE practices, and delivered serverless and containerized architectures while partnering closely with development teams.
