What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior roles leading middleware-to-cloud transformations, CI/CD and automation initiatives where I can mentor teams and drive operational excellence in collaborative, innovation-focused environments.

I am a middleware, DevOps and cloud consultant with over 20 years of industry experience and a master’s degree in Information Technology.

At Arrow and in prior roles I have been the middleware SPOC and Solution Architect, leading middleware transitions, transformations and cloud migrations while enabling automation and CI/CD across teams.

I have deep hands-on experience with WebLogic, JBoss, Exalogic, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker and a broad DevOps toolchain, and I routinely troubleshoot SSO, performance and production issues across APAC, EMEA and AMER.

I hold certifications including Certified Kubernetes Administrator and AWS Solutions Architect Associate, have received multiple internal and customer awards, run a high-traffic middleware blog, and I focus on mentoring teams and driving operational excellence.
