What I'm looking for

I seek a senior cloud role where I can lead multi-cloud architecture, mentor engineers, drive modern CI/CD and IaC adoption, and optimize costs and security.

I am a Senior Cloud Engineer with over 12 years of experience designing and implementing cloud solutions across AWS and Azure, focused on scalability, security, and cost optimization.

I routinely architect multi-cloud infrastructures, automate provisioning with Terraform and ARM templates, and build CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and Jenkins to accelerate delivery and ensure reliability.

My work includes container orchestration with Kubernetes and AKS, performance monitoring with CloudWatch and Azure Monitor, and developing disaster recovery and security strategies that reduce risk and maintain business continuity.

I am committed to mentoring junior engineers, fostering cross-functional collaboration, and driving cloud modernization initiatives that align technical solutions with business objectives.
