Cloud Engineer · Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Ankush Patil at the Skills Ontario provincial championships, 2026

I design and secure cloud infrastructure - AWS first, Azure when the job is hybrid. Software engineering background, enterprise security operations experience, and a 2026 competition season that ended with gold at Skills Ontario and silver at the Skills Canada Nationals in cloud computing.

I like systems that survive failure quietly: multi-AZ by default, least privilege everywhere, infrastructure written as code so it builds the same way twice.
