Head of Cloud Engineering driving AI-enabled, secure, cost-efficient cloud platforms with enterprise-grade reliability.
CyprusWhat I'm looking for
I’m the Head of Cloud Engineering, leading Platform Engineering & AWS Operations at MUFG and reporting directly to the CTO. I hold global ownership across Cloud Operations, MLOps, FinOps, Observability, Developer Experience, DevSecOps, and Emerging Technologies.
I drive cloud-native transformation at scale by aligning reliability, cost governance, security, and AI enablement into a cohesive platform strategy. I embed advanced FinOps practices for real-time cost intelligence and executive-level cloud transparency, and I elevate observability maturity through telemetry-driven architecture, SLO-based reliability engineering, and modern incident response.
I accelerate developer velocity by standardizing CI/CD orchestration and Infrastructure as Code, and by delivering self-service platform capabilities. I also scale MLOps foundations for production-grade ML lifecycle management and AI experimentation pipelines, while piloting AI-driven operational agents for automation, autonomous remediation, and intelligent operations—alongside proactive DevSecOps integration to strengthen security posture.
