AWS Cloud Architect | DevOps Engineer | Terraform, CI/CD & Compliance

If your AWS costs keep climbing, deployments break production, or a compliance audit is approaching - the problem is usually not just one thing. It's the architecture and the process around it. I step into messy infrastructure and fix both: the cloud setup and the automation that keeps it running. Most teams I work with are stuck in one of these situations: - AWS bills growing with no clear reason - Manual deployments that break things every release - Compliance deadlines (PCI, SOC) getting close with no clear path - Infrastructure that was "temporary" three years ago and is now critical I've spent 15+ years solving exactly these problems. Recent outcomes: - Discovered $500K in unclaimed assets through automated reconciliation at a national home services company - Led PCI compliance remediation across 200+ servers, passing audit on first attempt - Built CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment time from hours to minutes - Managed infrastructure for one of the largest private universities in Brazil (200 servers, 7,000 desktops) Stack: AWS (EC2, IAM, VPC, RDS, CloudFormation, CodePipeline), Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Python, Bash, Linux, CI/CD.
