IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Infrastructure and Cloud Architect with 25 years of progressive experience across enterprise infrastructure design, hybrid cloud architecture, and large-scale virtualization for global clients across IBM and Kyndryl. I translate complex business requirements into scalable, highly available IT architectures with hands-on delivery across datacenter build, cloud migration, and EUC transformation programs.
I architect end-to-end hybrid cloud solutions leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and IBM Cloud, defining migration strategies such as lift-and-shift, re-platforming, and modernization. I produce High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD) documentation, and I lead disaster recovery planning and Business Continuity Planning (DR/BCP) with clear RTO/RPO readiness.
I bring strong technical leadership and stakeholder engagement, serving as a primary technical authority and escalation point through post-implementation governance. My deep expertise spans Microsoft Windows Server, VMware vSphere, and Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop, plus service delivery continuity across multi-vendor, complex enterprise environments.
