Cloud Architect | AWS Automation & Infrastructure as Code

Open to remote full-time roles and to assessing future independent collaboration proposals, subject to prior legal formalisation before any services begin.

Profile

Cloud architecture shaped by technical delivery and customer reality.

At Denodo, I have progressed from solutions consulting into cloud engineering and architecture, building automation for technical demo environments, infrastructure templates and scalable cloud operations. My background in pre-sales helps me design platforms that engineers can run and stakeholders can trust.
