What I'm looking for

I seek a technical role focused on AWS cloud engineering, automation, and resilient architecture where I can improve uptime, optimize costs, and grow toward solution-architect responsibilities.

I am a cloud support engineer with over two years of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and troubleshooting cloud solutions across AWS and Microsoft 365. I focus on building secure, scalable, and cost-optimized infrastructures using services such as EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, and CloudFront.

I automate workflows and administrative tasks using PowerShell and Python, which has reduced manual effort and improved reliability in production environments. I have supported hybrid cloud migrations, backup & recovery strategies, multi-AZ fault-tolerant architectures, and integrated AWS solutions for AI/ML workloads.

My background includes validating cloud-based applications, streamlining CI/CD pipelines through automated testing, and collaborating on global cloud architecture to align infrastructure with business objectives. I hold an AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certification and am completing Google IT Automation with Python.

I deliver pragmatic, operationally-focused cloud solutions emphasizing uptime, cost optimization, and security best practices, and I enjoy driving improvements that make infrastructure more reliable and efficient.
