What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cloud or infrastructure role where I can design and operate secure, scalable systems, automate workflows, and contribute to reliable production services within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a Cloud DevOps and IT professional with hands-on experience managing AWS infrastructure, Linux systems, networking, and enterprise IT support. I have implemented Infrastructure as Code using CloudFormation and Terraform, automated configuration with Ansible and Kubernetes, and administered cloud services (EC2, RDS, S3, VPC, IAM, Lambda) while ensuring security, backup and disaster recovery.

Across roles in public health, corporate and managed-hosting environments I have led deployments of monitoring, surveillance and lab systems, supervised field and zonal teams, and provided remote and on-site support for Windows, Mac and Linux systems, VoIP, VPN, firewalls and IP cameras. I hold AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and a Cloud DevOps Nanodegree and seek to bring reliable, secure, scalable infrastructure and strong operational discipline to a growth-focused team.
