What I'm looking for
At Accenture, I've led backend modernization, microservices, cloud transformation, and data engineering programs for Novartis, Merck, Airbus, Verizon, Dell Informatica, and Accenture R&D. I coordinate Product, Engineering, Architecture, Operations, and business teams to deliver enterprise platforms, API integrations, and strategic roadmaps.
I've delivered 95% on-time releases, reduced manual effort by 50% through automation, improved application performance by 40%, and supported 99.9% availability through scalable architecture, caching, database optimization, and observability. My work spans AWS and GCP migrations, CI/CD adoption, technical governance, risk management, and engineering mentorship.
Earlier, I built AWS-based backend services, PRM/CRM automation, reporting pipelines, retail replenishment systems, and large-scale media and sports content crawlers. I enjoy translating business objectives into scalable technical solutions that improve operational excellence and customer outcomes.
