01 / Profile

My cloud engineering profile

I focus on cloud engineering with AWS and Azure, DevOps and automation. I am an AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate and an IHK-qualified IT Specialist in Application Development. I build on my enterprise IT background through personal AWS projects, a completed Azure SQL migration and ongoing AWS & DevOps training at Clarusway.

Understand the day-to-day

From device provisioning to incident analysis: I understand workplace operations and how technical issues affect users and other teams.

Make recurring work simpler

I have adapted PowerShell scripts and worked with Power Automate on onboarding, offboarding and the handover of service and asset data.

Keep work traceable

Structured troubleshooting, clear documentation and coordination with specialist teams help make handovers and recurring processes understandable.

Enterprise context · ING

From June 2024 to June 2026, I contributed to operations in a regulated environment with 4,000+ users and 8,000+ endpoints. These figures describe the environment supported by the team, rather than my individual scope of responsibility.

AWS certified · DevOps labs

Cloud, DevOps & infrastructure

AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate since October 2026. My full-time training and personal labs cover AWS, Linux, networking, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD; my AWS projects show the practical application.

How I use AI

I use OpenAI Codex and Claude Code for learning, prototypes and debugging in my own projects. Generated code is a starting point: understanding the approach, checking the result and testing the behaviour are part of the work.
