WHAT I DO
Cloud Solutions Architect
I am a seasoned Cloud Solutions Architect with years of
hands-on experience in crafting, deploying,
and optimizing cloud infrastructures. Recognized for
driving operational efficiency and fostering cross-team
collaboration, I specialize in Python, Java, SQL,
and Bash, with expertise in Kubernetes, Docker,
Terraform, and event-driven architectures.
My core strengths include advancing DevOps practices,
automating tasks, and delivering maintainable and resilient designs.
I have extensive experience deploying and supporting SaaS
applications for large-scale organizations, integrating
business applications, and automating critical processes.
Proactive in gathering feedback, I excel in stakeholder
engagement, ensuring user experiences and project
outcomes are consistently enhanced. Proficient in
leading pilots, proofs of concept, and optimizing solutions,
I bring a strong foundation in Agile methodologies
and software development to the table.
Backend Engineer
I bring years of expertise as a Data Engineer,
specializing in cloud infrastructure, database management,
and big data analytics. I excel in designing and implementing large-scale
data solutions. My strengths lie in Cloud Infrastructure
and Cost Optimization, ETL processes, and data warehousing.
I am dedicated to delivering innovative and efficient
data solutions that consistently surpass business objectives.
With a mastery of AWS, including Athena, Redshift, EMR, Glue,
Lake Formation and S3, I am well-versed in cloud architecture
and deployment automation. My proficiency extends to both
relational (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases
(MongoDB, Cassandra). Additionally, I excel in implementing
automated pipelines for swift deployment and high-quality
software, and I am committed to upholding stringent data
security and compliance standards.
Research & Development
My unyielding pursuit of self-improvement and
staying abreast of the latest industry developments
is a cornerstone of my professional ethos.
I am inherently driven by a passion for crafting
innovative solutions and leveraging technology to
address tangible, real-world challenges. While I
possess a solid foundation in programming languages
like Java and Python, I am resolutely committed to
broadening my skill set and embracing novel challenges.
Whether embarking on a solo project or collaborating within
a team, I find my element in the energetic realm of
fast-paced and dynamic environments.
Recent explorations have led me to delve into emerging
technologies such as Rust programming language and
Pulumi for Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This journey
signifies my unwavering commitment to not only keeping
up with the evolving tech landscape but also proactively
seeking out opportunities to master new tools and
frameworks. This relentless pursuit of knowledge empowers
me to consistently deliver cutting-edge solutions
and drive progress in every project I undertake.
