Google Cloud Engineer | Cloud & Network Infrastructure Specialist
Google Cloud Certified Engineer | Cloud Infrastructure | Terraform | CI/CD | Cybersecurity I'm a Google Cloud-certified engineer holding both the Professional Cloud Architect and Associate Cloud Engineer certifications, with a Bachelor's (Honors) in Computer Engineering. I design secure, cost-optimized, and production-ready cloud platforms, fully built with Infrastructure as Code so everything is reproducible, documented, and clean. FEATURED PROJECT - Stratus (GCP Cloud Platform) Stratus is an end-to-end cloud platform I engineered on Google Cloud Platform, built entirely with Terraform across five layers: - Networking - Custom VPC, subnets, firewall rules, and private connectivity - Database - Private Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL) with automated backups, point-in-time recovery, and high availability proven in code - Application - Containerized app deployed on Cloud Run with built-in HTTPS and zero-downtime releases - CI/CD Pipeline - Automated Cloud Build pipeline: every git push triggers test, build, push, and deploy automatically - Observability - Cloud Monitoring dashboards, uptime checks, and alert policies Security was a core focus, not an afterthought: - Least-privilege IAM with a dedicated service account per component - All credentials stored in Secret Manager, never hard-coded - Private IP database connectivity with hardened firewall rules Cost governance built in from day one: - Serverless architecture designed to minimize always-on spend - Budget alerts and an automatic billing circuit-breaker (Pub/Sub + Cloud Function) The platform is fully reproducible. A single terraform apply rebuilds the entire stack from scratch. WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU - Design and deploy GCP infrastructure with Terraform - Set up Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Artifact Registry, and Secret Manager - Build CI/CD pipelines with Cloud Build or GitHub Actions - Configure monitoring, logging, dashboards, and alerting - Harden cloud environments: IAM, firewalls, private networking - Audit and optimize cloud costs - Networking setup and troubleshooting (CCNA certified) - Security assessments and hardening (CompTIA Security+) CERTIFICATIONS Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) Cisco CCNA 200-301 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) CompTIA A+ eJPT - Junior Penetration Tester If you need a cloud engineer who thinks about architecture, security, and cost from the start, not just someone who clicks around the console, let's talk.
