IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-oriented Principal Architect with 22+ years of experience leading digital modernization and cloud transformation across Banking, Insurance, Healthcare, and Manufacturing. I specialize in .NET Core/.NET 9, Azure, and AWS, focusing on scalable, cloud-native architectures and measurable delivery outcomes.
Most recently at LTIMindtree (Client: Zoll Medical), I led end-to-end modernization of a legacy monolith into .NET 9 microservices hosted on AWS, engineered Terraform-based infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines, and mentored 10+ engineers on .NET Core, DevOps, and cloud-native best practices. Previously at Cognizant, I served as Senior Technical Architect for NatWest/RBS and Nolan Transport Group, defining HLDs and integration architectures and migrating legacy platforms to cloud-native microservices while reducing tech debt through automation and quality gates. I’m now expanding into enterprise AI integration patterns, cloud-native AI architectures, and modern platform engineering practices.
