What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue leading presales and cloud security engagements—designing solutions, running POCs, and supporting delivery end-to-end to drive digital transformation, revenue growth, and measurable outcomes for enterprise clients.

I’m a results-driven Presales Engineer and AWS Certified Solutions Architect with over 4 years of experience delivering enterprise cloud, cybersecurity, and infrastructure solutions across financial services, manufacturing, education, NGOs, and the public sector.

I lead technical discovery sessions, solution demos, and Proof of Concept (POC) engagements—translating complex requirements into business-driven architectures. I also prepare detailed technical proposals and RFP responses, collaborating closely with engineering and sales to ensure feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and timely delivery.

Highlights include supporting end-to-end AWS Analytics transitions from POC to Go-Live, executing an SAP B1 Migration POC to AWS, and delivering Zendesk ticketing across multi-site environments. I’ve also delivered measurable impact through security and platform initiatives—leading Fortinet firewall deployments, improving privileged access management outcomes with Wallix PAM, reducing website downtime by 25% and boosting security by 15%, and helping an e-commerce and web program reach 60% more customers while improving SEO by 70%.
