Professional Summary

Cloud Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing, automating, and supporting AWS cloud infrastructure, Linux environments, CI/CD platforms, and containerized workloads. Builds repeatable Terraform-provisioned infrastructure and automated CI/CD pipelines that improve environment consistency and keep application delivery reliable across development and production. Hands-on with AWS, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, ECS/Fargate, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and CloudWatch. Reduced manual administration steps by approximately 40% through infrastructure and configuration automation. Known for strong ownership, practical problem-solving, root-cause analysis, and building reliable, repeatable infrastructure through automation.

Professional Experience

CLOUD ENGINEER | iCARE MEDICAL
2021 – Present | United States / Remote
  • Designed and maintained AWS cloud infrastructure supporting application and development workloads, improving environment consistency and deployment reliability.
  • Administered Ubuntu and Amazon Linux servers, managing users, groups, permissions, SSH access, services, packages, logs, and system troubleshooting.
  • Automated AWS infrastructure provisioning with Terraform and server configuration with Ansible, reducing manual administration steps by approximately 40% and improving environment consistency.
  • Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Docker, and AWS services to support consistent application delivery.
  • Containerized applications with Docker, managed images through Amazon ECR, and supported production deployments on Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate.
  • Implemented Amazon CloudWatch dashboards, logging, and alerting to improve visibility into infrastructure and application health.
  • Applied IAM, SSH, access-control, patching, and Linux hardening practices to strengthen cloud security and operational reliability.
  • Used Git and GitHub for version control and Infrastructure as Code collaboration; investigated production incidents, performed root-cause analysis, and implemented corrective actions.

Selected Projects

Amazon ECS/Fargate Container Deployment
2024
  • Containerized a web application with Docker and published versioned images to Amazon ECR for cloud deployment.
  • Configured ECS/Fargate deployment components, AWS networking and security settings, Application Load Balancer, HTTPS, Route 53, and autoscaling.
  • Impact: Demonstrates end-to-end container delivery from image build and registry publishing through managed AWS runtime execution.
AWS CI/CD Automation Pipeline
2024
  • Built a GitHub Actions workflow integrating Git, Docker, Amazon ECR, and Amazon ECS.
  • Automated image builds, image publishing, ECS task-definition rendering, and ECS deployment.
  • Impact: Demonstrates automated application delivery from source control through container image publishing and ECS deployment.
Linux & Ansible Automation
2023
  • Automated Linux server setup with Ansible, including inventory, SSH, package installation, service configuration, and application deployment.
  • Used Ansible with Terraform to separate infrastructure provisioning from server configuration.
  • Impact: Reduced manual administration steps by approximately 40% through repeatable infrastructure and configuration workflows.
