I design and ship cloud infrastructure that is scalable, automated and cost-aware.

AWS Cloud Engineer with five years in technology and hands-on delivery across architecture, IaC, CI/CD and observability. I turn fragile manual processes into repeatable, version-controlled systems.

Systems I designed, automated and shipped

Each one cut manual effort or delivery time by a margin you can put a number on.

AI-Powered Website Factory

Amazon Bedrock + GitHub + DNS automation

2 wks → 2 hrs
delivery time

A serverless pipeline that generates, deploys and configures production micro-websites from a minimal JSON payload with no human intervention. Delivery dropped from two weeks to two hours.

Infrastructure Migration Automation

Shell + AWS CLI

~99%
effort removed

Shell automation that migrates large infrastructure and data workloads with idempotent steps and clear failure handling. A three-day manual job now runs in minutes with no human error.
