AWS Solution Architect | DevOps Engineer | Terraform Expert

Tired of fragile infrastructure, unpredictable deployments, and cloud bills that keep climbing? I turn chaotic, manual environments into disciplined, automated, and security-hardened platforms that scale calmly under real pressure. I work at the intersection of Architecture, Execution, and Security. With over six plus years of experience, I don’t just build pipelines; I design systems around business constraints, traffic patterns, and strict compliance needs like FedRAMP and PCI DSS. From stabilizing AWS environments for enterprise stakeholders like Apple & eBay to scaling government platforms for 50k concurrent users, I ensure your infrastructure is a business asset, not a bottleneck. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐈 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦: • Rapid Environment Provisioning: Reduced spin-up times by ~80% using Terraform and automated multi-account baselines. • Operational Resilience: Reduced stability incidents from weekly to near-zero through custom Kubernetes remediation playbooks. • Cost & Compliance: Optimized cloud spend (e.g., AWS Macie) while driving remediation for vulnerabilities across IAM, networking, and clusters. • Faster, Safer Delivery: Integrated security checks (Trivy, SonarQube) into CI/CD pipelines to move from reactive firefighting to predictable, secure operations. 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞: I specialize in building production-ready platforms using a modern, secure-by-default stack: Cloud Platforms: AWS (EKS, ECS, IAM, VPC), Oracle Cloud (OCI/OKE), and Azure (AKS). Orchestration & GitOps: Kubernetes, Helm, Argo CD, and Istio. Infrastructure as Code: Advanced Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, and Ansible. CI/CD & Automation: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, and Bitbucket Pipelines. Observability & Security: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Orca Security, Kyverno, and OCI Cloud Guard. 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞: ✓ Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) ✓ AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate ✓ AWS Certified Developer – Associate ✓ HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫: I don’t just configure tools; I build structured DevSecOps systems. Whether you need an AWS multi-account landing zone, a PCI DSS-aligned migration, or a Kubernetes security overhaul, I provide a clear, structured path forward.
