Angel's Cloud Resume

About Me

Angel Noel Chavez

I'm a Jr. Site Reliability Engineer & Cloud Practitioner, dedicated to building and automating infrastructure so engineering teams can move with confidence and scale efficiently.

In my current role, I spearheaded the creation and deployment of a DevOps driven Infrastructure-as-Code workflow to manage a 6-node Proxmox VE cluster using Git, Terraform, Ansible, Python, Linux, SSH, and Proxmox APIs.

The result: a version-controlled, ephemeral infrastructure baseline that:

Automates onboarding of new team members
Enables faster feature roll-outs with less risk of configuration drift
Builds a foundation for scaling 6-10 more nodes and eventually multiple full racks

This project now underpins how my team operates. I'm currently earning my Bachelor of Applied Technology in Cloud Computing and regularly share insights on cloud infrastructure, DevOps practices, and automation on my blog.
