What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my cloud and security expertise to drive impactful projects.

I am a highly motivated security and cloud operations professional with extensive experience in managing complex cloud infrastructures and implementing robust security measures. My journey in technology began with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, and since then, I have honed my skills in various roles, from Development Operations Engineer to Senior Platform Engineer. I have a proven track record of utilizing Agile development practices to enhance team collaboration and project delivery.

At Gravie Inc., I played a pivotal role in developing scalable design patterns for deploying production infrastructure as code using AWS services and Python. My commitment to security is evident through my work in integrating security tools into CI/CD pipelines and remediating security findings. I have successfully led initiatives to migrate services to more efficient cloud solutions, significantly reducing operational costs while improving performance. My passion for continuous learning and improvement drives me to stay updated with the latest technologies and best practices in cloud operations and security.
