Cloud Support Engineer @ Cognizant for Google Cloud Platform
Serverless • Cloud Databases • Cloud Storage • GCP Specialist
Hi, I'm Adrian.
As a Cloud Support Engineer at Cognizant Romania on behalf of Google Cloud Platform, I primarily work with cloud serverless technologies (Cloud Functions, Cloud Run), cloud databases (Cloud SQL, Spanner), cloud-native databases (Firestore, Bigtable), and cloud storage solutions (Cloud Storage, Filestore). I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Advanced Information Processing Technologies while helping customers navigate their cloud journey with effective troubleshooting, disaster recovery strategies, and technical guidance.
Based in Romania, I balance my professional work with content creation and continuously expanding my cloud computing expertise. I'm enthusiastic about designing robust cloud architectures and optimizing database performance across various GCP services. Recently, I've been expanding my knowledge in AI and ChatGPT applications for business, focusing on strategic frameworks for digital transformation.
