What I'm looking for

I seek senior platform or cloud engineering roles where I can drive IaC, platform reliability, cost optimization, and mentor teams while delivering secure, scalable cloud solutions.

I am a Senior Cloud Engineer with deep hands-on experience operating large-scale cloud platforms across GCP and AWS, designing Terraform-managed foundations, and delivering repeatable, secure landing zones for production services. I have led migrations, standardized IaC and CI/CD workflows, and improved platform reliability and cost efficiency—cutting provisioning time from weeks to hours and reducing annual cloud costs.

I partner closely with client engineers and architects to translate requirements into platform designs, implement governance and observability, and mentor teams in best practices. My background includes migrating on‑prem systems to cloud-native architectures, restoring Terraform stability at scale, and building anti-fraud and high-performance backend systems for financial services.
