My core strengths include Infrastructure as Code, container orchestration, CI/CD automation, observability, and secure cloud networking. I have hands-on experience deploying applications on Amazon EKS and Amazon ECS Fargate, using Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, and GitHub Actions. I build production-style delivery workflows that automate container builds, image publishing, infrastructure provisioning, and application rollouts. I have delivered full-stack deployments spanning Node.js and Java/Spring applications, Amazon RDS databases, load balancing, and monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch. I am comfortable working across application development and platform infrastructure to support reliable end-to-end delivery. I have built serverless, event-driven AWS solutions using Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito, S3, SQS, DynamoDB, SNS, and Terraform. I apply cloud security and networking practices involving IAM, VPCs, subnets, security groups, DNS, and access controls. I also teach cloud engineering, AWS, Linux, Terraform, and infrastructure best practices through an independent training program. I create practical labs, runbooks, and training materials while mentoring learners through real-world cloud deployment exercises. I am actively pursuing the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certification and expanding my portfolio in AWS, Kubernetes, and platform engineering. I am seeking Cloud Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, or Full-Stack Engineer opportunities.
