Summary

As a former AWS Engineer at Wipro, I've cultivated a robust skill set in AWS services, spanning EC2, S3, Lambda, VPC, and RDS. My focus on scalability, security, and performance led to the successful implementation of cost-effective solutions. Complementing this hands-on experience, I dedicate time daily to enhance my problem-solving skills in Java through LeetCode. This dedication, coupled with my academic pursuit of an MSCS at UAB, positions me to thrive in the dynamic realm of computer science.
