Sumti Mehta

I am a multi-cloud certified engineer with over three years of experience architecting, securing, and optimizing scalable solutions on AWS and Azure. My expertise bridges both platforms from core compute and data services to AI/ML and automation enabling me to build resilient, cost-efficient, and high-performance cloud environments. 

Passionate about leveraging infrastructure as code and DevOps practices to streamline operations and accelerate delivery, I am now seeking to transition into a Cloud Architect role where I can design and lead innovative, cross-platform cloud strategies.

I am a Cloud Engineer with over three years of progressive experience, currently specializing in AWS infrastructure. My career has evolved from foundational cloud support to advanced engineering, with a consistent focus on automation, cost optimization, and security.

Core Achievements:

Cost Optimization: Reduced cloud operational costs by 15-25% across roles through resource monitoring, right-sizing, and implementing reserved instances.

Automation & Efficiency: Automated infrastructure provisioning and deployment pipelines using AWS CloudFormation, Terraform, and AWS Code services, reducing manual effort and deployment time by 30%.

Infrastructure & Security: Designed, implemented, and secured scalable cloud architectures (including 3-tier and serverless systems), enhancing availability, performance, and compliance through services like IAM, VPC, and security best practices.

Leadership & Collaboration: Provided technical guidance to junior engineers and collaborated with cross-functional teams to integrate cloud solutions that improve operational efficiency.

Career Progression:

AWS Cloud Engineer (Nov 2024 – Present): Leading infrastructure management, advanced automation, and security governance.

AWS Cloud Associate Engineer (Nov 2023 – Oct 2024: Focused on building scalable solutions, infrastructure as code, and cost optimization.

Cloud Support Engineer (Aug 2022 – Oct 2023): Established foundational expertise in AWS support, resource optimization, and operational automation.

Key Technologies: AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, CloudFormation, IAM, VPC), Terraform, and emerging skills in Azure, demonstrating a multi-cloud trajectory.

I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Rajiv Gandhi Government Engineering College, Kangra, which I completed in July 2022.

While my degree is in a core engineering discipline, it provided me with a strong analytical, problem-solving, and systems-thinking foundation—skills I directly apply in my cloud engineering career for architecting logical, efficient, and resilient systems. My professional expertise has been further solidified and specialized through industry-recognized certifications in cloud platforms.

This combination of formal engineering education and targeted cloud certifications has equipped me with both the theoretical grounding and the practical, hands-on skills required to design and manage complex cloud infrastructures.
