What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

I am an accomplished IT professional with over 7 years of experience specializing in cloud computing, DevOps, and quality engineering. I have successfully led and contributed to more than 15 projects involving the build, testing, and deployment of web applications, achieving significant improvements such as a 25% increase in deployment efficiency and a 20% reduction in build test times. My exceptional organizational skills have enabled me to effectively manage teams of over 10 members, demonstrating outstanding communication, team spirit, and critical, data-driven decision-making to solve complex challenges.

In my current role as a Cloud Security Engineer at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, I designed and implemented cloud security architectures for AWS and Azure environments, ensuring compliance with CJIS standards. I have automated security workflows using tools like Terraform and Ansible, integrated DevSecOps practices into CI/CD pipelines, and trained team members on cloud security best practices. My commitment to optimizing cloud cost management has resulted in annual savings of $150,000 through resource optimization and right-sizing.
