What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cloud-AI product deliveries, drive automation and cost optimization, collaborate across teams, and mentor engineers while working on migrations, observability, and scalable cloud-native platforms.

I am a Cloud AI Product Manager with 12+ years of experience delivering cloud-native and AI-enabled solutions across global, cross-functional environments. I specialize in cloud migrations, cost optimization, and automations using tools like Terraform, Azure, AWS and GCP, and scripting in Python and Bash.

My recent work includes migrating over 1PB to Azure NetApp Files, implementing NSG security automation, building outage repair automation, and publishing technical documentation used for customer migrations and internal knowledge transfer. I have hands-on experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD (Jenkins, Azure Pipelines), observability (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Splunk) and Generative AI technologies including LLMs, RAG and vector indexing.

I bring a pragmatic, delivery-focused approach—partnering with product, security and customers to choose right-sized clusters, replace hardware, and streamline operations while reducing costs and improving reliability. I value clear documentation, automation-first solutions, and collaborative knowledge transfer to ensure business continuity.
