About

I'm a DevOps / Cloud Engineer and AWS Solutions Architect focused on designing, building, and operating production AWS platforms. I work across networking, containers, CI/CD, observability, and security, with an emphasis on systems that are reliable, scalable, and easy to operate.

I've delivered systems for medium-sized businesses and large enterprises, designing Infrastructure as Code, low-risk release strategies, and secure, scalable architectures that hold up under production pressures and operational complexity.
