What I'm looking for

I seek roles focusing on cloud-native platform and data engineering with strong emphasis on automation, observability, cross-functional leadership, and opportunities to design scalable, secure systems that enable analytics and customer success.

I am a Solutions Architect with 8+ years of experience designing scalable, secure, and resilient cloud and data platforms. I specialize in platform and data engineering, DevOps, observability, and cloud-native architectures to enhance performance and reliability.

I have led cross-functional teams and driven customer success by translating business needs into high-value technical solutions, restoring mission-critical environments under pressure, and delivering production-grade data platforms for enterprise clients.

My technical work includes provisioning enterprise Cloudera clusters, building large-scale data pipelines with Apache NiFi and Python, implementing authentication/authorization/encryption controls, and automating CI/CD and monitoring across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

I mentor teams, create automation and IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation), and focus on cost optimization, operational resilience, and enabling analytics through well-architected ingestion, transformation, and API access for data consumers.
