Hello There! 👋🏼

I'm Mehedi. I have a background in Computer Science and I’m currently working as a Cloud Engineer at Amazon AWS. Over the past few months, I’ve been building knowledge on AWS internal tooling and automation skills.

Prior to joining AWS, I gained two years of experience in the fintech sector, starting at AxeTrading and continuing with Trading Technologies after its acquisition. These roles broadened my understanding of various asset classes and sharpened my expertise in software development, agile methodologies, and cloud technologies used in different companies. I managed a range of projects aimed at maintaining the reliability of on premise / managed services, databases, and server infrastructure.

Skills 💡: Linux, Docker, AWS, CI/CD, Ansible, Grafana, Prometheus, CDK / Terraform and Agile methodologies.

Currently Upskilling: Polishing my coding skills in Python and JavaScript for monitoring services and automation to further streamline cloud operations.

Hobbies & Interest

When I’m not immersed in tech, you’ll find me flying my FPV (First-person view) drones, exploring new countries, or playing around with my small homelab setup.
