Cloud Engineer at Amazon

About

DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer with 4+ years building and operating large-scale, highly available infrastructure — currently at AWS, previously at Qualys managing 5,000+ production servers globally. I work at the intersection of automation, reliability, and scale: → Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation across dev/staging/prod → Container orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes, EKS/AKS → Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry → Reliability engineering: reduced infra downtime 30% via HA/DR design; cut AWS OpenSearch costs 25% through ISM policy optimization → Automation: Python/Shell scripts eliminating recurring operational toil → AI/LLM tooling in DevOps workflows — automating incident triage and accelerating MTTR I've contributed to AWS's official Kendra documentation (found an outdated API, built the POC, got it published) and delivered an undocumented Terraform pattern for CloudWatch → Kinesis → Dynatrace integration now used as a customer reference implementation. Certified: RHCSA, AWS Solutions Architect Associate, AWS DevOps Engineer Professional, AWS AI Practitioner, Terraform Associate. See live demos, source code, and full write-ups on my portfolio: ughate.github.io/portfolio/ Open to DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, and SRE roles where I can bring this operational depth to bear on systems at scale.
