Cloud Engineer | DevOps | AWS | Scalable & Secure Cloud Infrastructure

DevOps & Cloud Engineer with 6+ years of experience architecting, automating, and scaling cloud environments across AWS and Azure. I focus on building platforms that are secure, resilient, cost‑optimized, and built for rapid delivery. My core strengths include: - Designing cloud‑native solutions that support high availability and strong security posture - Automating infrastructure with Terraform, Bicep, and CloudFormation to eliminate manual overhead - Developing CI/CD pipelines that accelerate release cycles and improve deployment reliability - Managing containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes across EKS, AKS, and GKE - Enhancing observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and modern monitoring practices Recently, I’ve been leveraging AI‑driven automation, LLMs, AI agents, and Model Context Protocols, to modernize DevOps workflows, accelerate incident response, and enhance operational resilience. I’m particularly focused on how AI can transform platform engineering, from predictive scaling to intelligent deployment pipelines. I thrive in distributed, cross‑functional environments and enjoy partnering with engineering and security teams to strengthen platform reliability, optimize cloud spend, and continuously improve delivery pipelines. My goal is to help organizations build cloud foundations that are not only robust today but adaptable to the demands of tomorrow.
