About

I am a Senior Cloud Engineer based in Ireland, specializing in cloud infrastructure on both AWS and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). My passion lies in automation, infrastructure as code, and building scalable, resilient cloud solutions. In recent years I have gotten into CI/CD and Kubernetes

Experience & Focus

I am a Cloud and Platform Engineer with nearly a decade of experience architecting and scaling multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP). I thrive in large-scale environments, applying a deeply logical approach to complex systems engineering and automation.

A life-long learner backed by dual Master’s degrees and extensive certifications, I continuously explore modern infrastructure paradigms through hands-on side projects—including architecting and self-hosting custom web environments on GCP—to stay at the cutting edge of the broader cloud ecosystem.

Earned Certification Badges

I believe in continuous learning and have earned several industry certifications to stay at the forefront of cloud technology.

AWS Certified Solutions Architect Badge

Legacy College Work

During my MSc, I developed a few projects that served as early playgrounds for my interest in CI/CD and cloud deployments.

  • Demo App: A Blood Pressure Calculator app used to demonstrate automated deployment patterns.
  • App Pipeline: The Azure DevOps pipeline that managed the build and release lifecycle for the demo app.
