About
I am a Cloud Solution Architect with over 12 years of experience in designing, implementing, and optimizing enterprise-grade cloud solutions. My career has spanned multiple industries, where I have led the development of highly scalable PaaS platforms, hybrid cloud migrations, and self-service infrastructure models that empower development teams.
My expertise includes architecting solutions using Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes distributions such as GKE, AKS, and OpenShift. I have extensive hands-on experience with Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, and integrating AI/ML capabilities into cloud-native platforms.
Career highlights include architecting a multi-cloud PaaS platform for Walmart serving thousands of internal developers, achieving a 40% improvement in deployment times, and leading cost optimization initiatives that saved over $2M annually.
Beyond my technical expertise, I value mentorship and knowledge sharing, and have a proven track record of leading distributed teams, collaborating across global time zones, and delivering solutions that align with both technical and business objectives.
My professional philosophy centers on combining innovation with practical execution, embracing emerging technologies while ensuring reliability and security.
