What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead cloud and platform engineering that scales developer experience, advances GenAI adoption with governance, and delivers Zero Trust security and reliable zero-downtime operations.

I’m a cloud and platform engineering leader with 9+ years across GCP, AWS, and Azure, blending hands-on architecture with executive communication. Currently, I serve as Director of Infrastructure and Platform Engineering, owning the IDP for ~3,500 engineers, SuperApp infrastructure (5,000 RPS target), enterprise-search AI, an enterprise LLM gateway (Claude, GPT, Gemini), and Zero Trust security with Istio.

I designed and launched a company-wide Internal Developer Platform that reduced new-service onboarding from ~1 week of dev time to under 2 working hours by turning ticket-driven workflows into self-service GitOps flows. I also rolled out auditable AI-assisted coding via a centralized LLM gateway, integrated AI code review into the SDLC to cut defective merge requests reaching UAT by 40%, and standardized Istio for policy-driven east-west traffic control—while defining platform roadmaps and KPIs such as DORA metrics and platform NPS.
