What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a team where I can lead secure multi-cloud landing zones, Kubernetes modernization, observability/SRE, and FinOps governance—balancing strong Zero Trust guardrails with developer velocity.

I’m a results-driven Senior Cloud Architect with 19+ years in enterprise infrastructure and 10+ years leading cloud transformations. I’m an immediate joiner with proven expertise across Azure, AWS, and GCP, focused on building scalable, secure platforms that deliver measurable business outcomes.

I’ve designed and operationalized enterprise multi-cloud landing zones, onboarded 200+ applications with “secure-by-default, policy-driven” controls, modernized Kubernetes platforms (AKS/EKS) using GitOps and policy guardrails, and implemented unified observability with SLOs/error budgets to reduce MTTR. I also lead FinOps governance (budgets, chargeback/showback, tagging standards) and hybrid DDoS resilience at edge and origin.
