Experience
Senior Cloud Platform Engineer
UST Global, Inc.
- Lead technical discovery and target-state AWS architecture for migrating an on-premises portal platform to AWS based on the AWS Well-Architected Framework, driving decisions across networking, IAM, compute, data, observability, and disaster recovery in a multi-account environment.
- Designed the target container architecture on Amazon ECS Fargate for the Liferay and Node.js application tiers.
- Scoped the SQL Server to Amazon RDS Multi-AZ migration, auditing CLR assembly dependencies to surface blockers and continuity risks before implementation.
- Defined the target observability and security stack, consolidating Splunk to CloudWatch and AppDynamics to Dynatrace, moving credentials to AWS Secrets Manager, and running an ElastiCache Redis proof of concept.
- Prepared stakeholder sessions and discovery workshops that drove architecture decisions and tracked open risks such as network paths to third-party services and compliance sign-offs.
Platform Engineer
Pearson Education, Inc.
- Owned platform reliability and production operations for 6+ product teams across 80+ EKS and AKS clusters serving approximately 2 million users, including release support, on-call response, incident resolution, and root-cause analysis.
- Built reusable Terraform modules governing 1,500+ cloud resources across AWS and Azure, embedding infrastructure validation and drift controls into delivery pipelines to reduce provisioning time by 60% and prevent configuration-driven incidents.
- Built reusable Terraform modules for Azure Log Analytics Workspaces, standardizing log tables, retention policies, and transformation rules across environments to improve observability while reducing unnecessary ingestion and storage costs.
- Designed and maintained GitOps-based CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions for Kubernetes applications, APIs, batch workloads, and infrastructure changes, using Helm deployments with validation and rollback controls to improve release reliability.
- Led zero-downtime Kubernetes workload upgrades using scripted cutover and rollback sequencing, maintaining platform availability during production changes and periods of 3x peak traffic.
- Led a large-scale secrets and cryptographic key rotation initiative across production environments, coordinating credential and application changes while maintaining service availability and reducing risk from long-lived credentials.
- Improved cloud security by migrating Azure SQL, Storage, and Redis services from public connectivity to private endpoints and modernizing internal applications with SSO-based authentication.
- Drove remediation of Qualys vulnerability findings using Ansible and Azure Update Manager across 250+ Windows and Linux VMs, improving the organization's security score from the low 50s to the high 80s.
DevOps Intern
Cloud Infrastructure Team · Summer internship during M.S.
Pearson Education, Inc.
- Migrated 400+ APIs across 9 environments within 8 weeks using Azure DevOps pipelines and Azure Kubernetes Service, supporting a time-sensitive enterprise platform transition through repeatable, containerized deployments.
Security Cloud Engineer
Cloud Architecture & Infrastructure — AWS Engineering
Amazon Web Services
- Owned cloud security and architecture guidance for 350+ enterprise customers, resolving complex issues across AWS IAM, KMS, ACM, CloudHSM, Cognito, SSO, EC2, S3, and serverless services within strict SLA requirements.
- Designed highly available, fault-tolerant, multi-region AWS architectures for production-critical enterprise workloads with security, scalability, and disaster recovery requirements.
- Developed Python and AWS CloudFormation automation that reduced repetitive customer security workflows by more than 70%, saving multiple engineering hours each week.
- Served as an escalation point for high-complexity cloud security incidents, coordinating with internal AWS service teams to restore service and keep enterprise customers unblocked.
- Mentored interns and junior engineers and delivered training on AWS security services such as IAM, KMS, and Cognito to internal teams and enterprise customers, speeding up onboarding and reducing repeat escalations.
- Earned promotion from intern to associate and then engineer within 2 years through technical ownership, customer impact, and delivery of automation adopted across the team.
