What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead hybrid-cloud, storage, and VMware/Kubernetes modernization—owning DR resiliency, automation, and cost-efficient SLAs in mission-critical environments, with room to drive durable improvements in performance and compliance.

I’m a Senior Infrastructure, Storage, and Cloud Architect with 20+ years designing and operating hybrid-cloud and enterprise platforms in banking and large enterprise environments. I’ve led cross-functional infrastructure teams supporting 100+ branches, multiple datacenters, 300+ vSphere hosts, and 2,000+ virtual machines—while managing SLAs, vendor contracts, and multi-million-dollar CAPEX/OPEX budgets.

I’m known for modernization programs that improve resiliency, performance, compliance, and cost efficiency—especially multi-site disaster recovery, storage optimization, and automation. I architected DR using IBM high-end storage, Spectrum Control, VMware, and Azure; drove containerization with Docker and Kubernetes; and standardized secure baselines and patching across Windows, Linux/Ubuntu, AIX, and IBM i—integrating observability and automated reporting with PowerShell.
