About

Professional summary

I am a senior cloud engineer focused on building reliable, secure, and scalable platform infrastructure across GCP and AWS.

I have led large-scale cloud operations spanning dozens of GCP projects and more than 100 AWS accounts, supporting production services across development, QA, and production environments.

My work centers on infrastructure as code, cloud governance, CI/CD automation, observability, and hybrid networking, with deep hands-on experience in Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, ArgoCD, Jenkins, and cloud-native services.

I have delivered measurable impact by reducing cloud costs, accelerating environment provisioning, improving incident response times, and standardizing platform foundations for repeatable deployments.

I also enjoy working closely with engineers and architects to translate requirements into practical platform designs, and I have mentored junior engineers to improve IaC adoption and reduce configuration errors.

In addition to cloud and platform engineering, I have experience with backend systems, AI-assisted development workflows, and applied machine learning studies, which helps me approach technical problems with both engineering rigor and product awareness.
