Cloud Engineering and Infrastructure as Code

Public Cloud Promises

"Compute will be as normal as power from the outlet."

"Public cloud enables companies to focus more on their core business."

These are just a few of the promises made in the early days of the public cloud—and they have been delivered.

While the public cloud offers many benefits, it also comes with caveats: security risks, compliance and data sovereignty concerns, vendor lock-in, and cost management. In some cases a private cloud can be a better fit — with a bit more work you can still achieve comparable automation and control.

My Background

My career as a hosting and technical application engineer introduced me to both private and public cloud technologies early on. I have primarily worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure and have hands-on experience with a broad range of services within these ecosystems.

I have supported diverse workloads, from high-traffic public websites to complex backend data-processing services and databases.

Infrastructure as Code

Infrastructure changes should be predictable, repeatable, auditable, and testable. For this reason, I use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to build, and manage cloud environments.

What I Can Do for You

• Cloud solution architecture and engineering
• Designing and building secure, compliant, and highly available cloud platforms
• Auditing cloud environments and implementing security best practices
• Leading proofs of concept or proofs of value
• Performing cost analysis and implementing cloud cost optimizations
• Developing reusable IaC modules for organizational use
• Delivering complete end-to-end Kubernetes platforms including guardrails
• Elevating team capabilities through knowledge sharing and hands-on workshops
