What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build AI-native developer platforms—governed cloud automation, reliable infrastructure, and secure enterprise operations—where agentic workflows improve engineering productivity, cloud governance, and operational outcomes.

I’m an AI Platform & Infrastructure Engineer with 5+ years of experience building production-grade cloud platforms, infrastructure automation, and AI-powered operational workflows across enterprise banking environments. I focus on AI-native developer platforms that improve engineering productivity, infrastructure reliability, cloud governance, and secure enterprise operations.

At Virtusa (Bank of Montreal), I architected AI-native infrastructure automation using AWS, Terraform, and MCP, including governed Terraform execution pipelines with OPA/Rego validation and AI remediation. I also designed context-aware infrastructure intelligence and AI-powered operational workflows for reporting, posture analysis, compliance evidence, and governance automation, contributing to modernization across 25+ AWS services. Previously, I led cloud security initiatives at Standard Chartered using Wiz, Checkov, IAM, and Policy-as-Code—improving cloud security posture across 35+ AWS services—and I built an AI-native infrastructure automation platform as the Founder of Allifyy.
