What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead cloud transformation programs where I can own migration roadmaps, FinOps cost optimization, and zero-downtime delivery—partnering with architects and CXO stakeholders in a governance-driven, cross-functional environment.

I’m a result-driven Senior Project Manager with 19+ years of experience delivering complex IT programs and leading enterprise cloud transformation initiatives across AWS/Azure. I build cloud migration strategies using 6R (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire and Retain), and I prioritize delivery predictability through Agile, Scrum, SAFe, Waterfall, and hybrid delivery models.

Most recently at Dell technologies, I led the enterprise cloud transformation of 120+ applications to AWS/Azure, achieving 35% infrastructure cost reduction and a zero-downtime migration strategy that improved uptime to 99.95% SLA compliance. I implemented FinOps to optimize cloud spend by 25% YoY, enabled CI/CD pipelines with Docker and Kubernetes adoption, and led 50+ cross-functional team members while managing $3M–$10M budgets and CXO-level stakeholder communication.
