career
Atos acquired Cloudreach in 2022. During this period, I led a team of four engineers through the proposal, planning and delivery of AWS and Azure infrastructure automation projects.
My most impactful project was a resource cleanup automation for an AWS client in the retirement market, which reduced >$10,000 in monthly costs by idenifying and removing hundreds of unused resources across 3 accounts in the first month of being deployed.
My most recent project was a greenfield migration from Signalfx to Dynatrace, an alerting solution used by 30+ clients in production. This involved building configuration as code, detectors, alerting integrations and workflows from scratch.
2023 - Present
Right after finishing my internship I started as an Associate Cloud Engineer in Cloudreach, responsible for reactive support of cloud infrastructure, including incident response, patching, monitoring and backups.
I was promoted to a Cloud Engineer within my first year, shifting to a more proactive role, involving infrastructure as code, automation, and security hardening.
2020 - 2022
During university I secured an internship as an Integrations Engineer in ServiceNow where I was assisting clients with custom integration and automation of their platforms. This is where I got my first taste of enterprise and cloud, ultimately leading to my career in the field.
2019 - 2020
I moved abroad to study at Edinburgh Napier University, graduating in 2021 as BEng with a distinction in Cybersecurity and Forensics.
2017 - 2021
I completed my secondary education in Bulgaria in 2017 with a focus on Mathematics.
