Position: AWS DevOps / Solutions Architect
Category: DevOps
English level: fluent
Years of experience: 6

- Converted project infrastructure from Terraform/Troposphere & Ansible to AWS CDK, created reusable NPM packages, setup new CI/CD pipelines, educated the team
- Identified and fixed performance issues in microservice-based API, set up automated testing and monitoring
- Passed AWS Solutions Architect-Professional certification
I have been working as a software developer (TypeScript, Node.js) for the last 6 years. My latest role was a Senior Backend Developer in a British startup where I was responsible for designing, developing and monitoring a set of microservices hosted on AWS. 
Working in cross-functional teams and constantly being engaged in DevOps activities, I have realised that dealing with infrastructure is what drives me the most. Now I am looking for the next career shift: becoming AWS DevOps and Solutions Architect.

I am holding several AWS certifications:
- Certified Solutions Architect - Professional  – Oct 2022
- Certified Solutions Architect - Associate – Dec 2020
- Certified Developer - Associate – Aug 2019 

Total experience with AWS: 5 years

Examples of tasks I can perform:
- set-up 3-tier architecture (Route53 -> ALB / API Gateway -> Lambda / ECS -> RDS / DynamoDB / ElastiCache ...)
- create infrastructure for ETL jobs (i.e. S3 -> SNS -> SQS -> Lambda -> EFS)
- write IaC with AWS CDK (TypeScript), Troposphere (Python),   CloudFormation, Terraform, Serverless
- package Node.js / Python app as a Docker container and deploy to the cloud
- set up CI/CD pipelines using CodeBuild/CodeDeploy or GitHub actions
- configure network connection in/inter VPC
- manage multi-account and multi-region AWS environments
- create application monitoring dashboards in AWS or DataDog 
- perform on-call duties resolving application alerts

I do admit that I am still missing some DevOps skills: Linux administration, web servers configs, Kubernetes, Chef, Puppet. I am working on filling these gaps and ready to learn more tools required for the position.
Would like to become a part of a company specialising in DevOps services and consulting, preferably AWS Partner. Also, consider product companies where I can combine AWS management (80%) with Node.js development (20%).
