Open to Cloud Engineering opportunities

Hi, I'm Kyle a BSIT grad with a passion for Cloud & DevOps.

I build secure, scalable infrastructure on AWS — entirely with code. Certified in Terraform & AWS, and focused on automation-first engineering.

Flagship Project

3-Tier AWS Architecture
Provisioned with Terraform

A production-grade, highly available three-tier application infrastructure on AWS. Built and version-controlled entirely in Terraform — no point-and-click. The architecture separates concerns cleanly across presentation, application, and data layers, with each tier isolated in its own subnet.

Security-First Design

Public/private subnet isolation, security groups, NACLs, and encrypted RDS instances.

High Availability

Multi-AZ deployment with Auto Scaling Groups and Application Load Balancer.

100% IaC

Modular Terraform codebase with remote state in S3 and state locking via DynamoDB.

Secure VPC Network Design

Custom VPC with public, private, and isolated subnets across 2 AZs. Defense-in-depth using Security Groups, NACLs, and VPC Flow Logs.

Portfolio

Static Portfolio on S3 + CloudFront

This portfolio deployed as a static site on AWS S3, served globally via CloudFront CDN with custom domain, ACM SSL certificate, and Route 53 DNS.

Built on First Principles.
Driven by Automation.

I am a Cloud and DevOps Engineer and a recent BSIT graduate from Southwestern University PHINMA (Class of 2025). I specialize in designing highly available, secure, and scalable infrastructure. My focus is on automating the heavy lifting so development teams can ship faster and safer.

I approach every system with a security-first mindset — because resilience is not an afterthought, it's an architecture decision made on day one. I believe the best infrastructure is invisible to developers: it just works, scales, and recovers.

3 Cloud Certs
AWS Primary Cloud
IaC First Approach

Security First

Every architecture decision accounts for the principle of least privilege, encryption, and network segmentation by default.

Automate Everything

If it's done more than once, it should be automated. I build pipelines that reduce human error and increase deployment velocity.

Design for Failure

Multi-AZ, self-healing systems that recover automatically. Uptime is a feature, not a bonus.
