I lead AWS cloud operations and service delivery for enterprise SaaS platforms at scale.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've led cloud strategy, operations, and service delivery at Ellucian for SaaS platforms serving 300+ higher-education institutions. I managed 18 cloud engineers, led roughly 140 customer cloud migrations, and maintained 99.5%+ SLA compliance.
I build and operate scalable AWS environments using microservices, Kubernetes, Terraform, CloudFormation, CI/CD pipelines, and automation scripts. My work reduced deployment time by 70% and delivered $3M+ in annual cloud cost savings through FinOps, rightsizing, reserved instances, and spend governance.
I run 24/7 support operations across monitoring, incident management, capacity planning, root-cause analysis, and continual service improvement. I bring ITIL governance and SRE practices together through SLA reporting, SLO/SLI tracking, error budgets, incident runbooks, and operational playbooks.
Previously, I managed end-to-end SDLC and multi-stream delivery for enterprise ERP/SaaS products, while mentoring engineering teams and leading technical escalations. I now provide advisory and implementation support for Banner ERP, Ellucian, and AWS infrastructure.
