I’m a Cloud Engineer building reliable, automated infrastructure on GCP with Terraform, CI/CD, and strong security practices. At Team Computers, I designed and deployed a 3-tier architecture in GCP, automating project hierarchies and state management while scripting disk partitioning and snapshot scheduling.

I also lead high-stakes migrations and operations improvements—most notably orchestrating cross-cloud migration of compute and database workloads from AWS to GCP. With Migrate to Virtual Machines and Database Migration Service, I executed cut-overs with minimal downtime, validating data integrity and maintaining service reliability. I’ve driven FinOps through automation (unused Reserved IP cleanup, VM right-sizing, and region optimization for Redis/Cloud Storage), achieving a 30% cost reduction, and I optimized Kubernetes by removing under-utilized nodes without service interruption.

Security and governance are central to how I work: I secured Cloud Run and GKE workloads using Serverless VPC Access, enforced least-privilege access via custom IAM roles and Service Accounts, and migrated secrets to Secret Manager using the Secrets Store CSI Driver for improved lifecycle management. In parallel, I build modern platform pipelines—using GitOps with ArgoCD and GitHub Actions, embedding Checkov/TruffleHog/Trivy for continuous vulnerability scanning, and setting up observability with Grafana Alloy, Prometheus metrics, and Loki logs.
