Junior Cloud / DevOps Engineer | AWS | Production-Style Cloud Systems | Secure CI/CD (OIDC) | Kubernetes & Terraform | Reliability-Focused
What I'm looking for
I am an entry-level Cloud and DevOps engineer transitioning from 24×7 operational roles into cloud infrastructure and platform engineering, with a production-first mindset.
I have hands-on experience designing, deploying, and operating production-style systems on AWS, building secure CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and OIDC, and automating infrastructure with Terraform.
My projects include a secure EC2 CI/CD pipeline using AWS Systems Manager, a serverless Cloud Resume application with CloudFront, API Gateway, Lambda and DynamoDB, and Kubernetes reliability work with readiness/liveness probes and canary deployments.
I emphasize designing for failure, runtime validation, least-privilege IAM, observability-driven troubleshooting, and clear operational documentation; I am seeking a junior Cloud, DevOps, or Cloud Operations role with real production exposure and mentorship.
