Developed and maintained secure, compliant VM and container images and automated end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for reliable, scalable deployments. Hardened builds, patched vulnerabilities, integrated security monitoring agents, and performed vulnerability assessments to maintain security and compliance.

Optimized CI/CD pipelines, improving software deployment speed and reliability by 40%, and reduced cloud costs by 35% using Prometheus and Grafana monitoring. Architected secure AWS and Azure solutions with vulnerability scanning, SIEM/IDS/XDR alert monitoring, and high-availability Kubernetes microservices using service mesh and cloud-native observability.

Designed scalable Azure data architectures using Data Factory, Databricks, Synapse Analytics, and Azure SQL, and directed migration and transformation initiatives to protect data integrity. Implemented governed, secure data pipelines with encryption and IAM auditing, automated deployments with Terraform/Bicep in CI/CD, and monitored performance using Datadog, Application Insights, and Log Analytic

Engineered secure Azure data pipelines with Data Factory, Databricks, and SQL Data Warehouse, improving performance and supporting business-aligned analytics. Automated deployments and infrastructure using ARM templates, Terraform, Ansible, and Azure DevOps CI/CD, while migrating on-premises workloads to Azure and monitoring environments with Log Analytics and service health tools.

Implemented Azure IaaS and PaaS solutions and accelerated delivery by establishing CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps using Terraform, Ansible, and PowerShell. Managed ARM template-based deployments and automated on-premises migrations to Azure, while monitoring availability and performance with Log Analytics, Network Watcher, Service Health, and Dynatrace.

Migrated legacy applications to AWS and provided cloud support across IAM, DynamoDB, GuardDuty, and WAF. Managed AWS networking and infrastructure with VPC and CloudFormation, automated deployments with Terraform, Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes, and optimized AWS resources for performance and cost.

Earned a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology with a minor in Information Technology.
