What I'm looking for

I like small, scaling teams where one person wears several hats and decisions move fast. I want to stay close to architecture and code while turning rough ideas into production-ready systems.

At AWS (Amazon), I manage enterprise engagements for financial-services clients, owning architecture decisions, delivery roadmaps and risk calls. I designed an AWS Landing Zone using Control Tower, Organizations, IAM and guardrails, and delivered an Amazon Connect modernization.

At INTEL, I owned cloud platform architecture for CI/CD, ingress and feature-management services, and grew a distributed engineering organization across four regions. I delivered $6.9M in infrastructure cost optimization, sustained 99.95%+ availability and reduced MTTR by 25% through automated remediation.
