What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote Senior/Lead role where I can combine cloud architecture, cloud security, platform engineering, DevSecOps, and AI-driven automation. I’m particularly interested in building secure, scalable cloud platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP, while applying GenAI, agentic AI, and MCP to automate security and engineering workflows.

At National Australia Bank (NAB), I provide cloud security consulting across AWS and Azure, contributing to reference architectures, security baselines, and guardrails. I also define IAM controls and lead CSPM governance initiatives using Wiz.

I leverage AI-driven automation to improve security reporting and leadership visibility, increasing reporting effectiveness by 40%. Earlier, I developed an AI-powered cloud security triage framework to automate risk identification, prioritization, and remediation workflows.

At Accenture, I led security architecture design and reviews for AWS, Azure, and GCP transformation programs. I developed reference architectures and governance standards, and conducted risk assessments and threat-modelling workshops.

Earlier roles at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), British Telecom (BT), HCL Technologies, and Wipro Infotech covered security assessments, application protection, firewalls, VPNs, and network security. I also architected a vulnerability monitoring platform integrating Snyk, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Teams that reduced detection latency by 80%.
