About Me

Passionate about cloud infrastructure

I'm a Cloud Engineer based in Suwanee, Georgia, with a strong foundation in AWS services, Linux administration, and enterprise system migrations. My experience spans managing RHEL servers, automating workflows with Python and Bash, and architecting scalable cloud solutions.

I've successfully led migrations from on-premise infrastructure to AWS, achieving significant cost savings while improving reliability. Currently focused on serverless architectures and DevOps practices.
