What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cloud migrations and IaC automation, work with cross-functional teams, and build scalable, secure AWS infrastructure with Terraform and Kubernetes.

I am an AWS Cloud Engineer with around six years of experience designing, migrating, and operating cloud infrastructure. I specialize in Terraform-based IaC, GitLab/GitHub CI/CD pipelines, AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM), and container orchestration with EKS and Docker.

I led migration projects using AWS Application Migration Service, implemented AWS Landing Zone/Control Tower patterns, managed remote Terraform state and drift remediation, and automated deployments with modular Terraform configurations. I also built tooling and PoCs—such as a Terraform-log chatbot using LangChain and Azure OpenAI—to speed up troubleshooting and incident resolution.

I take a hands-on approach to hardening, monitoring, and auditing cloud accounts (CloudWatch, Config, CloudTrail, GuardDuty), and I collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver secure, scalable, and auditable cloud operations during transitions and production support.
