What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable, scalable cloud and Kubernetes platforms, translating evolving requirements into practical roadmaps while partnering closely with engineering, security, product and business stakeholders.

I've built and operated cloud and private-cloud platforms across AWS, Azure and VMware, taking initiatives from requirements and technical design through proof of concept, implementation and production support.

At Sumstack, I designed scalable AWS and Azure infrastructure, built Kubernetes platforms with AKS, EKS and VMware VKS, and created reusable Terraform modules for standardised environments. I also automated platform operations with Python and Bash and improved delivery pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions and Jenkins.

At HSBC, I improved release velocity and deployment reliability by 30% through CI/CD automation with Jenkins and Argo CD. I also supported Kubernetes service mesh capabilities with Istio and reduced non-production AWS spend by approximately 15% through right-sizing, scheduling and cleanup.

Across DNetGurus, Altoros and Dell, I've delivered cost-efficient Kubernetes and cloud platforms, strengthened monitoring and resilience, and partnered with customers and engineering teams on secure, scalable solutions. I'm focused on practical automation, observability, cloud governance and reliable platform operations.
