About me:

I have worked 2 years as a Solutions Architect at AWS, and 7 years as a Solutions Engineer at Oracle. I can help you achieve success in AWS, for projects ranging from landing zone set-up, migration to AWS, containerisation, shift to noSQL databases, HA and DRP, data integration, datawarehousing, and ML Ops.

My philosophy is that I should never have access to your production data, nor advanced IAM privileges. I will help you implement data-masking and least-privileges principes, to ensure the protection of your data. For exceptions, I will help you implement a "break-the-glass" mechanism; to ensure that exceptions are noticeable, traceable, time-bound and scope-limited.
