What I'm looking for

I seek a senior cloud/security role where I can lead cloud modernization, optimize costs, strengthen security posture, and mentor teams in an agile, collaborative environment.

I am a cloud and security-focused IT professional with extensive experience leading cloud migrations, cost optimization, and IT transformation initiatives across APAC. I have led major on-prem to cloud migrations, implemented cloud cost savings, managed multimillion-dollar vendor contracts, and strengthened cybersecurity posture through audits, policy enforcement, and incident response.

I work closely with platform, architecture, and security teams to deliver cloud modernization, AWS data lake migrations, and Cloud CoE services for regional business units. I am a PMP and Agile practitioner who emphasizes automation, documentation, knowledge sharing, and measurable outcomes that improve service delivery and operational resilience.
