Cloud architect with 16+ years transforming enterprise Azure platforms into secure, scalable, cost-efficient cloud solutions.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Cloud Architect with 16+ years of experience driving enterprise cloud transformation, platform engineering, and infrastructure modernization. I partner with engineering teams and business stakeholders as a trusted technical advisor to design scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud solutions. I also lead technical discussions, enable proof-of-concepts, and influence architecture decisions across Kubernetes, DevSecOps, and AI-driven platforms.
At Bechtel Corporation, I lead architecture design discussions to define scalable Azure-based solutions aligned with business and technical requirements. I act as a trusted advisor for Kubernetes and cloud-native adoption, enabled standardized infrastructure provisioning through reusable Terraform modules, and built self-service platform capabilities that improve deployment velocity and operational efficiency. I delivered executive-level cost intelligence dashboards (Power BI) to improve financial governance, and I supported AI/ML proof-of-concepts by designing scalable and secure environments, including security modernization with Azure Workload Identity.
Previously, as a Cloud Operations Architect Associate Manager at Accenture, I led design and implementation of Azure cloud architectures and evaluated new technologies through proof-of-concepts. I enabled CI/CD and DevSecOps practices using Azure DevOps, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes, while authoring architecture documentation and aligning stakeholders on design decisions. Earlier experience also strengthened my operational focus—designing monitoring and observability strategies with Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics, automating Elastic Stack deployments with Terraform, and supporting workload migrations from on-premises (Hyper-V) to Azure.
