What I'm looking for
I am an AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Cloud Developer with 3+ years designing, automating, and optimizing cloud infrastructure and backend applications using AWS, Terraform, Python, and Java. I deliver measurable improvements in performance, deployment speed, and reliability — for example, improving application performance by 30% and reducing deployment times by 20% through CI/CD and infrastructure automation.
I emphasize test-driven deployments, clear technical documentation, and data-informed decision making, which have reduced post-deployment issues by 40% and improved team efficiency by 35%. I seek opportunities to apply DevOps best practices, scalable architecture patterns, and automation to drive operational excellence and measurable business outcomes.
