AWS Cloud & Software Architect
I’m an AWS-focused Cloud Architect and software engineer with 14+ years of experience designing and delivering secure, scalable systems in the cloud. I specialize in AWS Well-Architected architectures, Infrastructure as Code, and cloud-native application development using Node.js, React, TypeScript, and modern DevOps practices. I help small, mid-market, and enterprise businesses plan and execute secure cloud transformations on AWS – from first migration steps to mature multi-account environments. My strength is combining hands-on engineering with clear communication so stakeholders understand trade-offs while teams ship fast, reliable software. test
