Linus Koech

Dear Hiring Team, I am writing to express my interest in cloud and network engineering opportunities within your organization. With over eight years of experience spanning cloud architectures, network engineering, and security, I have built a strong track record of designing resilient systems, solving complex technical challenges, and driving operational excellence in high‑impact environments. In my current role as a Senior Cloud Support Engineer at Amazon Web Services, I specialize in networking, monitoring, and scaling for enterprise customers. I have served as a subject‑matter expert in AWS Elastic Load Balancing, AWS WAF, and AWS Shield—helping organizations secure their applications, mitigate DDoS threats, and optimize traffic distribution for high availability. I have also designed and implemented secure hybrid connectivity solutions that seamlessly integrate on‑premises infrastructure with cloud environments. A key highlight of my career was leading a successful hybrid cloud integration project that increased operational agility by 40%. I also spearheaded a network redesign initiative that enhanced security and reduced operational costs by 20%. Additionally, I led an automation effort that cut deployment times by half, significantly improving customer onboarding and operational efficiency. Beyond technical execution, I am committed to mentorship and knowledge sharing. As an accredited AWS mentor, I guide engineers in developing expertise across networking, cloud security, and application deployment. My experience spans SD‑WAN, MPLS, infrastructure‑as‑code (CloudFormation, Terraform), Windows and Linux administration
