01 — About

Background

I'm a Cloud Engineer specializing in architecting, deploying, and maintaining AWS infrastructure — with deep experience across EC2, IAM, VPC, RDS, ECS/EKS, and CloudWatch, plus Terraform-driven IaC and Docker-based containerization.

AWS DevOps certified, I automate deployments, manage CI/CD pipelines, and optimize cloud environments for performance, reliability, and cost. Four-plus years at SecureKloud Technologies growing from intern to Senior Associate — leading incident response, mentoring engineers, and delivering production-grade systems.

Grounded in Linux, networking, and cloud security fundamentals. I care about clean automation, observable systems, and infrastructure that scales without drama.
