Cloud-Native / DevOps Engineer
Cloud engineer who turns ideas into reliable, low-cost AWS platforms, built 10 production repos, codified EKS clusters, and cut spend 70 % through spot + caching. Three years designing secure, scalable infrastructure, now ready to ship resilient systems that save money and recover in seconds.
About Me
With three years of hands-on cloud experience, I design and operate AWS-native platforms, multi-account organizations, EKS clusters, serverless pipelines 100 % codified in Terraform, averaging ≤ $3 daily cost and cutting AI workloads 70 % via ElastiCache caching; AWS SAA (Nov 2025) and CKAD (Jan 2026), lots of GitHub commits, Go/Python micro-services ≤ 50 ms p99, full-stack Next.js when needed, and observability stacks that recover in seconds.
