What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead cloud and infrastructure architecture for secure hybrid/multi-cloud platforms—deeply integrating on-prem SDS with Azure/AWS, delivering HA/DR, and applying AI-driven automation to improve resilience, operations, and customer outcomes.

I’m a Principal Cloud, Infrastructure & AI Architect with 15+ years of IT experience, including 10+ years in Cloud, Virtualization, and Private/Hybrid Cloud architectures. I design scalable, secure, and resilient cloud platforms, and I lead complex enterprise deployments while collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver business-aligned solutions.

My specialty is Hybrid Cloud & Multi Cloud Integration—seamlessly integrating Dell PowerFlex SDS (on prem) with Azure and AWS to enable hybrid workloads, workload mobility, disaster recovery, and unified management. I also have deep VMware vSphere/ESXi expertise, including deployments, upgrades, HA/DRS design, lifecycle management, and VMware–PowerFlex integration for enterprise-scale virtualization and storage optimization.

I’ve applied AI/ML for predictive analytics, intelligent automation, and cloud optimization, including anomaly detection, AI-driven monitoring, and automated remediation. I’ve worked Agile-style with Jira for delivery alignment, and I use Generative AI to accelerate documentation, proposals, and solution design.
