Breanna Chase

I’m an award-winning IT Engineer (& excellent Cloud Engineer candidate!) with 5+ years of experience designing, implementing & managing reliable, scalable systems that reduce costs & maximize resource efficiency. I’m also a hands-on builder with a forensic attention to detail & a solid understanding of cloud-native architectures (GitHub, Kubernetes, Linux, Docker, PowerShell), system reliability & operational best practices that improve performance. During my time at Amazon, I’ve built a strong foundation in DevOps workflows, IAAC, site reliability & leveraging AWS & Azure systems to support high-availability environments. A few certifications include: AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Hashicorp Terraform Associate & LPI Linux Essentials. Prior to Amazon, I earned my Master’s in Software & DevOps Engineering where I gained hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub, deploying AWS environments with Terraform & designing apps + automated workflows with Python & PowerShell. Whether optimizing legacy systems or building new pipelines from scratch, I approach every challenge with curiosity, accountability & a drive to make systems faster, smarter & more resilient. Here are a few ways I’ve done that: • Successfully reconfigured & migrated SUT1’s security network by leveraging internal network management & planning tools (Dora, Imperium) to ensure seamless connectivity + reliability • Created a wildly popular cloud-based website using AWS Lambda, S3, EventBridge & Terraform (IaC) that still remains active 1 year post-departure from that site! • Automated system administration by creating PowerShell & GitHub scripts that patch & update 30+ shared systems weekly – eliminating downtime, saving work hours & maintaining 99.99% SLA • Earned an Excellence Award for my research in software security & compliance at Dixie Technical College • The only student in my class to earn CompTIA A+, Network+, & Security+ certifications Core Competencies: ✦ Cloud Platforms (AWS, Azure) ✦ CI/CD Pipelines ✦ System Administration ✦ Site Monitoring, Reliability & Incident Response ✦ Compute, Storage, VM, Networking, Containers ✦ Security & Compliance ✦ Scripting ✦ IaC (Terraform) ✦ Automation ✦ Troubleshooting & Performance Optimization ✦ Collaborate with Cross-functional Teams ✦Data Analytics ✦ AI/ML Integration ✦ Excellent problem-solving & communication skills ✦ Database & User Management ✦ SDLC ✦ GitHub, Python, Kubernetes, Linux, Docker, PowerShell
