IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Technical Delivery Manager and Engineering Lead with 14+ years of experience architecting and delivering enterprise-grade CMS, cloud, and data-migrations. I’ve led cross-functional Agile teams of 5–15 engineers, including 98% on-time delivery, and I bring deep expertise in Drupal (7–11) and AWS infrastructure with CI/CD governance.
In recent roles, I directed a Drupal 7 → Drupal 11 upgrade that reduced page load time from >5s to 2–3s and strengthened security by implementing Two-Factor Authentication (TFA/MFA). I’ve also architected large-scale migrations with Python ETL and Document360 REST APIs—automating bulk create/update, enriching metadata, and validating post-migration with diff-check scripts to ensure zero data loss and 100% structural fidelity.
