What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine cloud architecture, DevSecOps and automation where I can modernize infrastructure, improve security/compliance, and drive measurable process efficiencies.

I am a Cloud Solutions Architect and Process Optimization specialist with hands-on experience designing secure, scalable AWS environments, automating infrastructure with Terraform and CloudFormation, and migrating monoliths to microservices. I combine DevSecOps practices with information security controls (CIS Benchmarks, Well-Architected) to ensure compliant, resilient platforms.

As an RPA developer and process & quality specialist, I build UiPath attended and unattended robots, integrate legacy systems and APIs, and deliver measurable ROI and FTE savings while managing full documentation (PDD/SDD) and CI/CD for automations. I apply Lean Six Sigma (Green Belt) and quality frameworks (DMAIC, PDCA) to map workflows, reduce rework, and define operational KPIs and executive dashboards.

I bring a practical mix of cloud, security, DevOps, and automation skills, proven in banking and financial environments where I enforced least-privilege access, integrated SAST/DAST into pipelines, and implemented centralized logging and proactive alerting. I translate business needs into technical specifications and lead cross-functional efforts to modernize infrastructure and improve operational efficiency.
