I'm Valter -- a Senior DevOps Delivery Consultant at AWS Professional Services, based in Perth, Australia.
With 13+ years in the tech industry and the last 6.5 at AWS, I've been helping some of Australia's largest enterprises transform their cloud infrastructure. Think petabyte-scale data migrations, multi-account landing zones, contact center modernisations, and industrial IoT platforms -- the kind of projects where getting it right really matters.
Cloud Architecture & Platform Engineering -- I design and deliver enterprise-grade cloud solutions. My track record includes $27M+ in delivered projects across 40+ engagements in financial services, mining & energy, healthcare, telecommunications, and gaming & entertainment.
Hands-On Technical Leadership -- I'm not just drawing architecture diagrams. I lead engineering squads, write infrastructure code, build CI/CD pipelines, and get into the weeds with Terraform, CDK, Docker, and Kubernetes.
Customer Obsession -- I consistently achieve perfect 10/10 customer satisfaction scores. I believe the best technical solutions come from deeply understanding what people actually need.
