01 / ABOUT

Cloud infrastructure, automation and security — built for real systems.

I'm an AWS DevOps Engineer with 5+ years of experience working across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, observability and AI-enabled platforms.

My work sits between development and infrastructure: designing environments, automating delivery, migrating platforms and solving the operational problems that appear once systems are running at scale.

More recently, my focus has moved deeper into cloud-native security and platform engineering — working with EKS, Terraform Cloud, ArgoCD, Cilium, Falco, Hubble, Helm and Kustomize.

I also work with AWS AI services and GenAI architectures, including Bedrock, RAG, APIs, serverless infrastructure and Python-based tooling.
