What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can drive cloud transformation, mentor engineering teams, implement automation and scalable architectures, and align technology with business outcomes.

I am a technology leader and cloud architect with 20+ years of experience leading cross-functional engineering teams, modernizing infrastructure, and delivering scalable, cloud-native solutions across digital media, e-commerce, and enterprise platforms. I have led migrations to microservices, implemented CI/CD and automation that reduced costs and improved performance, and aligned technical strategy with business goals.

I have held senior roles across multiple countries and industries, built R&D and DevOps practices, and mentored engineering teams to improve delivery and reliability. My work emphasizes practical cloud architecture (AWS/GCP/Azure), containerization (Kubernetes), infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible), and a strong software engineering foundation in Node.js, PHP frameworks, Python and Java.
