Cloud Solutions Architect driving secure, cost-efficient multi‑cloud transformations.
What I'm looking for
I am a Cloud Solutions Architect with over nine years delivering secure, scalable multi‑cloud solutions across Azure, AWS, and GCP, focused on cost optimization and high availability. I lead cross‑functional engineering teams and design architectures that achieve measurable business outcomes.
My work has produced significant results: reducing operational costs by $300K annually, cutting deployment cycles from four hours to 30 minutes, achieving 99.99% uptime across large estates, and maintaining compliance scores above 98%. I specialize in IaC, container orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and cloud security.
I hold multiple cloud and architecture certifications (AWS, Azure, GCP, TOGAF) and enjoy mentoring engineers, automating operations with Terraform/Ansible/Python, and implementing resilient, cost‑effective cloud platforms that align with business goals.
