Available to hire
I’m a DevSecOps and cloud/infrastructure engineer with hands-on experience designing and delivering hybrid cloud platforms, landing zones, and secure enterprise environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I’ve worked extensively on network and data center infrastructure re-engineering, migration projects (including VMware-to-Proxmox and VMware-to-AWS), and building PXE/boot and automation stacks to keep operations reliable and repeatable.
Lately, I’ve focused on building hybrid-cloud capabilities end-to-end: Fortinet SASE and enterprise security deployments, central logging and observability, and practical BAU automation with CI/CD and SOPs for multiple infrastructure roles. I enjoy translating complex technical work into clear, operational steps for teams, and I bring a strong responsibility mindset, fast learning, and continuous knowledge sharing.
