Is your AWS environment hard to change, expensive, or full of manual steps and security gaps? I help teams turn it into versioned, secure and observable infrastructure, with deployments you can trust. I'm a DevOps Engineer with ~4 years in automation and cloud infrastructure, working remotely with international teams and clients. My focus is AWS, infrastructure as code with Terraform/Terragrunt, CI/CD and cloud security. Recent results: - Took part in a cost reduction project that cut a client's monthly AWS bill by ~25%, with no production downtime. - Reduced deployment time by ~15% for clients by adopting autonomous deployment models. - Fixed recurring infrastructure drift, keeping Terraform code and live environments in sync. - Built an AWS security baseline (GuardDuty, Security Hub, Inspector, Config, Detective) with an executive security posture dashboard. - Helped build a centralized logging stack (OpenTelemetry, Loki, Grafana) with Slack alerts. - Restructured large, messy CI/CD workflows into lean pipelines that are easy to maintain. How I can help you: - Infrastructure as code: new environments from scratch, or migrating manually created resources to Terraform/Terragrunt - CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Bitbucket Pipelines - AWS security: IAM with least privilege, Checkov, vulnerability scanning, security baseline and compliance - Containers on ECS Fargate and Docker - AWS cost review and optimization - Logging, monitoring and alerting I also have a software development background (C#, Java, Python), so I work well alongside developers and understand the full lifecycle of what's being deployed. How I work: clear communication, documented changes, and infrastructure your team can maintain after I'm done. I'm based in Brazil (UTC-3), with good overlap with US Eastern/Central hours and European afternoons. Professional English. AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. Send me a message describing your setup and what's getting in the way, and I'll suggest a practical next step.
