About Andrej

With two decades of experience in software development and 14 years specializing in cloud-native architectures on AWS, I design and implement scalable, secure, and cost-efficient solutions for complex IT infrastructures. My core expertise lies in migrating and modernizing enterprise applications, helping businesses transition from monolithic systems to microservices and cloud-native architectures.

What I Bring to the Table
✔ Cloud & DevOps Expertise – Deep knowledge of AWS services, container orchestration (ECS Fargate, EKS), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation), and CI/CD automation.
✔ Scalable & Secure Architecture – Designing highly available, fault-tolerant architectures with a strong focus on security best practices, cost optimization, and performance tuning.
✔ Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Solutions – Experience in hybrid cloud networking, transit gateways, VPC endpoints, and direct connect, ensuring seamless cloud integration.
✔ Software Engineering Background – Strong development expertise in Java, Kotlin, and Spring Boot, enabling me to bridge the gap between software development and cloud infrastructure.
✔ Cross-Industry Experience – Worked on projects in automotive, e-commerce, POS systems, insurance, and digital publishing, understanding the unique challenges of each sector.

Beyond the Tech – Driving Business Value
While my technical expertise is deep, I also focus on business-driven cloud strategies. I help organizations:
✅ Reduce AWS costs by optimizing infrastructure and selecting the right pricing models.
✅ Strengthen security through IAM policies, encryption (KMS, ACM), and compliance best practices.
✅ Accelerate delivery cycles with automated deployments, GitOps, and DevSecOps methodologies.
✅ Improve reliability by implementing observability, monitoring, and proactive scaling solutions.
