I've modernized enterprise applications and cloud-native platforms across healthcare, education, and SaaS for more than 17 years. At Exxat, I led engineering strategy for cloud and data platforms, defining architecture direction, standards, scalability, reliability, security, and performance.

I led Exxat's transition from a legacy monolith to Azure-based microservices, including migration planning, platform capabilities, Azure Data Factory migration, Kafka and Databricks analytics, and Redis caching. I improved release velocity by 30% through CI/CD and DevOps improvements while mentoring more than seven engineers across backend, platform, and data engineering.

Previously, I designed secure, resilient healthcare systems at Philips Innovation Campus using microservices, Kafka, CQRS, event-driven architecture, and role-based access control. I'm a Toptal Network Member and hold Certified Kubernetes Administrator and HashiCorp Terraform Associate certifications.
