About

I'm a Senior Cloud Engineer at Relias with over eight years of experience across cloud infrastructure and CI/CD automation on AWS, Azure, GCP, and bare-metal Kubernetes. I design, deploy, and monitor infrastructure, automate as much of it as possible with Infrastructure as Code, and run self-healing GitOps pipelines with Flux, with measurable results like 75% faster deployments and 99.9% system uptime.

This site is a working example: S3 static hosting behind CloudFront, DNS on Route 53, a serverless contact form on Lambda and API Gateway, all provisioned with Terraform and deployed by GitHub Actions. The certifications below are pulled from Credly automatically at build time.

  • 8+years in cloud ops
  • 3cloud platforms
  • 99.9%uptime achieved
Architecture diagram: visitors reach CloudFront via Route 53 DNS, static content served from a private S3 bucket, contact form via API Gateway and Lambda. GitHub Actions builds from the repo, fetches Credly certifications, syncs to S3 and invalidates CloudFront. All infrastructure provisioned with Terraform.
