Armando Contreras Platform Engineer & AWS Cloud Architect

Designing and operating cloud platforms at enterprise scale

Background

Hello, I'm Armando Contreras, a Platform Engineer and AWS Cloud Architect with a strong background in backend development and cloud infrastructure. My experience spans backend engineering, DevOps practices, and cloud architecture, with a focus on designing and operating cloud platforms at enterprise scale.

Enterprise Scale

I have worked across a wide range of AWS services and workload types, building and evolving platforms that support complex, mission-critical systems. I have worked with organizations managing hundreds of AWS accounts, complex IAM and Identity Center setups, large-scale networking topologies, and thousands of production resources.

Specialization

I specialize in Infrastructure-as-Code and GitOps-driven platforms, using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, and policy-as-code to enable scalable, secure, and maintainable cloud environments. My work often sits at the intersection of platform engineering, cloud governance, security, observability, and cost optimization.

Tech Stack

Talking about languages, Python is my primary language, complemented by Go, which I use for platform tooling and internal developer utilities. I focus on building reliable, scalable systems where infrastructure is treated as a product, not just as operational overhead.

Collaboration

Beyond the technical aspects, I value clear communication and thoughtful collaboration. I enjoy working closely with engineering, security, and product teams to align architectural decisions with real-world constraints and long-term goals. I believe strong platforms are not only technically sound, but also easy to understand, operate, and evolve.

Motivation

I'm motivated by complex problems, well-defined engineering standards, and environments where platforms are treated as long-term products rather than short-term solutions. I continuously refine my skills and perspective, with a strong interest in cloud architecture, platform engineering, and the systems that enable teams to do their best work.
