I am an AWS-certified Junior Cloud/DevOps Engineer currently transitioning from 6+ years of Sales and Operations Leadership. I’ve spent the last several years managing teams and complex business processes; now, I apply that same operational rigor to architecting secure, automated systems in the cloud. My shift into tech is fueled by a deep-seated passion for systems architecture and a hands-on approach to learning. I built my recent projects, including a hardened K3s Kubernetes cluster and a Serverless web architecture, entirely within a Linux environment, utilizing the terminal for configuration, deployment, and CI/CD automation. I am a self-driven researcher who loves turning manual bottlenecks into streamlined, code-driven solutions. While my cloud experience is currently project-based my background in leadership means I hit the ground running with professional communication, incident response discipline, and a business-first mindset.
