Summary

With 1.5 years of experience as a graduate cloud engineer, my enthusiasm for AWS cloud technology propels me forward. I'm on a path to become a Cloud DevOps specialist and, eventually, an AWS Cloud consultant. One of my significant contributions has been leading projects aimed at streamlining the deployment of AWS resources, saving valuable time and effort for the entire team. Leveraging CloudFormation, I've successfully automated key processes, including Workspaces and S3 services. With plans to extend this automation to EC2. These automation's have been seamlessly integrated with ServiceNow, ensuring that users can efficiently request and launch resources, ultimately increasing team efficiency and productivity.


My personal qualities, including being highly motivated, hardworking, and a dedicated team player, drive me to embrace new challenges. I'm always eager to better myself and contribute to the ever-evolving realm of cloud technology. My relentless dedication to AWS skill improvement and my adaptable nature position me as an asset in this dynamic field.
