What I'm looking for

I seek senior cloud platform roles where I can architect secure, cost-effective multi-cloud infrastructure, lead IaC and CI/CD adoption, and drive observability and compliance in collaborative, growth-focused teams.

I am a Cloud Infrastructure Architect with 11 years of IT experience, specializing in Google Cloud Platform and AWS, with additional expertise in Azure and Databricks. I lead full-cycle cloud transformations for enterprise-scale environments, delivering secure multi-region infrastructure, CI/CD, monitoring, and DR strategies.

I have architected active–active GCP infrastructures, modular Terraform codebases, Workload Identity Federation integrations, and production-grade GitHub Actions pipelines; I also designed Databricks deployments, automated cluster lifecycle management, and enforced security and compliance for regulated industries.

I hold certifications including Microsoft Certified Azure Administrator Associate, AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional, and Databricks Certified Data Engineer, and I focus on reusable IaC, cost-effective designs, and observability to ensure resilient, auditable cloud platforms.
