Summary

Cloud Data Engineer with 5+ years designing scalable distributed systems, real-time telemetry pipelines, and cloud-native data platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP — from security operations tooling to AI-driven infrastructure automation. I own the full stack end-to-end: streaming data architectures, Kubernetes-native platforms, identity and compliance governance, and the observability that keeps it all honest.

Experience

Senior Cloud Data Engineer / Cloud & Data Platform ArchitectPlatform Infrastructure & DevOps

Dec 2024 – Present

  • Lead design of enterprise-grade multi-cloud security architecture across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and architect Kubernetes-native platforms (EKS, AKS) with Crossplane-based declarative infrastructure governance
  • Built StreamAgent, a data streaming pipeline that ingests and normalizes live security event data, and detection engines across multiple SIEM platforms mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework
  • Designed real-time telemetry ingestion and anomaly-detection pipelines across distributed cloud workloads, cutting mean time to detection by ~35%
  • Led a proof of concept that cut cached-page first-byte latency from 7.4s to ~70ms (100x) and CPU throttling under load by 13x, by redesigning storage into a tiered image/volume/S3 split with per-site object caching
  • Led AWS cost optimization cutting monthly cloud spend ~35% (≈$3,950/mo saved) via Savings Plans, decommissioning idle infrastructure, and consolidating five dormant AWS accounts
  • Designed a zero-standing-privilege identity and access architecture spanning Azure, AWS, GitHub, and Slack — Conditional Access, enforced MFA, and just-in-time privileged role activation instead of standing admin access
  • Own billing systems, infrastructure monitoring, and day-to-day DevOps workflows across the platform; mentor engineers on distributed systems and cloud-native design

Aug 2024 – Nov 2024

  • Designed and developed backend automation modules for Azure-hosted microservices environments
  • Engineered modular Terraform libraries to provision AKS clusters, networking, storage, and identity services
  • Built CI/CD automation frameworks in Azure DevOps for automated build, test, and deployment workflows
  • Integrated Azure Monitor APIs for telemetry collection and application performance tracking

Cloud & Distributed Systems Engineer (Team Lead)Distributed Systems Engineering Firm

Apr 2021 – Aug 2022

  • Architected AWS-based distributed application environments using EC2, RDS, Lambda, and S3
  • Designed backend deployment automation integrating Jenkins, Docker, and Kubernetes, with Terraform for consistent environment replication
  • Engineered system monitoring frameworks using Prometheus and Grafana
  • Led architecture planning for cloud migration and modernization initiatives, and mentored a 12-person engineering team

Cloud Software Engineer (progressed from Cloud & DevOps Intern)Cloud Training & Education Platform

June 2019 – Apr 2021

  • Developed automated provisioning systems using Terraform and CloudFormation for AWS-based applications
  • Built Python automation scripts for infrastructure validation and scheduled task execution
  • Implemented CI/CD workflows integrating Git, Jenkins, and Docker
  • Started as an intern supporting AWS provisioning scripts and cloud-migration proofs of concept, and progressed into the full engineering role
