What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can architect secure, scalable cloud and identity solutions, lead migrations and automation, collaborate with product and DevOps, and drive digital transformation.

I am a Technical Architect with over 14 years of experience architecting, designing, and delivering robust cloud and virtual infrastructure solutions across industries and geographies. I have led end-to-end Azure and Google Cloud implementations, large-scale migrations, and enterprise VDI projects while driving cloud security, governance, and automation using Terraform, ARM, and CI/CD pipelines.

I bridge technology and business by translating requirements into secure, scalable architectures—implementing Zero Trust, identity solutions, and compliance controls (GDPR, ISO27001, NIS2). I partner with presales and DevOps to accelerate delivery, improve win rates, and reduce operational costs while mentoring teams and advancing cloud adoption strategies.
