# Senad Dizdarević — DevOps & Cloud Engineer

> AWS-certified DevOps and cloud engineer focused on secure automation, reliable delivery pipelines, and measurable cloud outcomes.

Works in two delivery modes: embedded partner for hiring teams and focused consultant for freelance clients. In both cases the goal is the same: simple architecture first, reliable automation, strong security posture, and clear operational ownership after handover.
