What I'm looking for

I'm looking for infrastructure, platform, or SRE roles where reliability and automation are taken seriously, especially teams working on multi-cloud infrastructure, DevSecOps, or AI-integrated tooling.

At HashedIn by Deloitte, I lead infrastructure architecture across search/AI, streaming media, and internal platform engagements, delivering multi-cloud governance and DevSecOps solutions for enterprise clients.

I architected Gemini Enterprise data connectors and keyless cross-cloud authentication using Workforce Identity Federation. I also built a RAG-based compliance platform covering 12 regulatory frameworks with FastAPI, React, and OpenAI and Anthropic APIs.

I led the zero-downtime containerization of 20+ high-traffic streaming applications while maintaining 100% availability during peak traffic. My cloud-agnostic deployment framework across AWS, GCP, Azure, and OCI reduced deployment time by 95% for 4+ platform teams.

I care about readable infrastructure as code, practical incident response, and SLA/SLO discipline. I've mentored 12+ engineers in IaC, CI/CD, and DevSecOps practices, and hold Google Cloud and Red Hat OpenShift certifications.
