Summary

I'm a Senior Cloud Engineer with around 10 years of experience in IT, and for the past 7 years, I've been fully focused on cloud platforms, DevOps, and building reliable infrastructure. I’ve led several cloud projects, including a recent one where I migrated OpenSearch from a public to a private setup inside AWS VPC to improve security and control. I’ve also handled on-call responsibilities, solved production issues, and worked closely with developers and stakeholders to improve platform performance and reliability. Most of my work is Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, and I’ve also implemented Crossplane to enable developer self-service.
