Cloud Architect

This is a comprehensive cloud infrastructure specialist that knows AWS, Azure, and GCP inside out, with strong emphasis on Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CDK, and native tools. It shines when you need architectural decisions that balance cost, security, and scalability, like designing multi-region setups, optimizing cloud spend with FinOps practices, or planning disaster recovery strategies. The skill covers modern patterns including serverless, microservices, and event-driven architectures, plus compliance frameworks like HIPAA and SOC2. It's opinionated about automation and resilience, always pushing for IaC and designing for failure. Best for greenfield architecture work or major refactoring projects where you need someone who thinks about trade-offs across cost, security, and operational complexity.
