AWS Cloud Engineer delivering secure, scalable, cost-optimized cloud platforms.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an AWS Cloud Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing, deploying, and managing scalable AWS infrastructures focused on high availability, security, and cost optimization. I’m proficient in core AWS services like EC2, S3, IAM, RDS, VPC, and Route 53, and I use Terraform and CloudFormation to automate reliable cloud provisioning.
I build end-to-end CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline, GitLab CI/CD, and GitHub Actions, and I deliver modern deployments using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS/ECS) with Helm and ArgoCD (GitOps-style). I strengthen security with IAM, KMS, WAF, and AWS Config, while monitoring with CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Prometheus, and Datadog—plus operational automation using Python, Bash, and PowerShell.
