Self-Taught Journey | 2022 - Present
I am a self-taught Cloud Engineer who started in cloud computing in 2022. I quickly built skills in AWS, Terraform, and serverless architecture. I have a strong history of stopping critical system failures, achieving 99.9% uptime in production environments, and delivering significant results, including a 95% reduction in downtime and 100% backup reliability.

Personal Project
I designed a production-grade serverless portfolio using AWS Lambda (Python 3.9), API Gateway, and DynamoDB, achieving 99.9% uptime across three regions. I automated infrastructure setup with modular Terraform (v1.5+) and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines, cutting deployment time by 65%.
Enterprise Production Solution
I prevented a critical system failure at Butternut Box through root cause analysis and corrective design using SQL Server 2019. I achieved 100% backup reliability by redesigning SQL Server maintenance plans and adding automated monitoring, saving over 12 hours of manual work each week.
Personal Project
I developed a secure FastAPI microservice with automated vulnerability scanning using Trivy. I deployed containerised workloads on a production-ready Kubernetes cluster with RBAC and namespace isolation.
Enterprise Production Solution
I built a serverless web application with S3 static hosting and CloudFront CDN for global content delivery. I created backend logic using Lambda and API Gateway, managing over 1,000 form submissions each month.
Personal Project
I designed an event-driven ETL pipeline using S3 and Lambda to process uploaded CSV billing data. I normalised and validated records before inserting them into Aurora Serverless MySQL.
2023 – Present | SEIDOR Networks
I specialised in multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Huawei Cloud) and on-premise infrastructure. I led automation and backup strategies for enterprise SQL environments, preventing three critical system failures and reducing downtime by 85%. I implemented scalable cloud solutions using Terraform IaC and CI/CD pipelines, successfully delivering eight client infrastructure projects with improved reliability and performance.
2023 – 2024 | Angamma Charitable Trust
I designed secure networks for three office locations, set up site-to-site VPNs, and segmented traffic using VLANs. I successfully established remote office networks with 99.5% uptime and led technology upgrade projects that improved network performance by 40%.
