I build secure, automated AWS and cloud platforms that cut costs, strengthen compliance, and improve reliability.

I've built secure, automated cloud infrastructure for Silicon Grid, reducing cloud spending by 25% through Python and AWS Lambda monitoring and cutting container image vulnerabilities by 40% with Amazon Inspector.

I strengthen AWS security and compliance through IAM, VPC-restricted S3 access, Security Hub, AWS Config, Terraform guardrails, and Trivy. My work helped achieve a 90%+ CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark score.

Across freelance projects and Torry Harris Integration Solutions, I've automated GCP Cloud Run and AWS ECS deployments, implemented GitOps with ArgoCD, and improved CI/CD delivery speed with GitLab CI. I've also built secure private networking, blue-green deployments, and zero-trust access solutions.

Earlier, I managed highly available AWS environments, cloud migrations, monitoring, backups, and application infrastructure. I'm certified in AWS Solutions Architect Associate, Azure Fundamentals, and Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate.
