What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise cloud architecture end-to-end—secure DevSecOps, SRE-driven reliability, and AI-enabled modernization—partnering closely with C-suite and engineering teams to deliver measurable business outcomes and long-term platform roadmaps.

I’m a Principal Enterprise Architect and Senior Platform Engineer with 11+ years of customer-facing technical leadership. I translate complex enterprise business requirements into production-grade cloud architectures, partnering with C-suite and engineering leaders to shape long-term technical roadmaps aligned to commercial objectives.

In my current work as a trusted advisor, I lead discovery workshops and business capability mapping sessions, guiding architecture decision records and executive trade-off analyses across multiple enterprise organizations. I design and govern cloud-native systems using domain-driven design and event-driven patterns, and I build automation with Python and Go—including AI-assisted pipeline orchestration, LLM-powered workflows, and RAG-driven implementations.

I bring deep cloud & DevSecOps expertise across AWS, GCP, and Azure, with a strong focus on data governance, IAM, zero-trust security, and compliance for regulated environments. From leading migration and platform modernization efforts to improving availability through SLI/SLO ownership and Prometheus/Grafana instrumentation, I’m committed to measurable business outcomes through technology modernization, agile governance, and delivery excellence.
