DevOps & Cloud Engineer

DevOps and Cloud Engineer with production experience building CI/CD pipelines, containerized platforms on AWS, and automating infrastructure with Terraform and Python. I hold AWS (SAA-C03), Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), and HashiCorp Terraform Associate certifications, and have delivered measurable outcomes: 90% faster disaster recovery, 40% infrastructure cost reduction, and 60% operational overhead elimination through cloud migration.

My engineering philosophy is simple: manual processes don't scale, automation does. What began as scripting help desk workflows has grown into architecting multi-region DR platforms, implementing GitOps pipelines, and leading cloud migrations with near-zero downtime.

Currently focused on cloud-native technologies, container orchestration, and CI/CD automation, while pursuing an OMSCS in Machine Learning at Georgia Tech.
