What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise cloud migration and virtualization programs—aligning architecture, governance, and security with business outcomes—so teams can deliver secure, zero-disruption transformations with clear wave planning and stakeholder-ready documentation.

I’m an infrastructure and cloud architect with extensive experience leading enterprise-scale infrastructure modernization, cloud migration, and virtualization initiatives. I set architectural direction, guide cross-functional teams, and deliver secure, scalable on-premises and hybrid environments with strong governance and risk management.

I lead discovery and migration programs across multi-cloud landscapes, building repeatable processes that reduce single-point dependencies and improve migration-wave accuracy. I’ve migrated thousands of servers using VMware tools and multi-method approaches, and I consistently align infrastructure strategy with business objectives by coordinating clearly with security, network, platform, and application stakeholders.
