I build enterprise cloud platforms, Kubernetes estates, and AI infrastructure that cut cost and improve delivery.
What I'm looking for
I'm leading platform engineering for Canada Post's application modernisation programme, replacing legacy batch ETL with near-real-time AWS streaming pipelines. I own CI/CD architecture, Terraform module structure, and infrastructure delivery across six environments.
At Deloitte, I took full ownership of Elevance Health's 50+ EKS cluster platform supporting more than 100 production applications. I redesigned the platform around Karpenter autoscaling, reducing annual AWS infrastructure spend by 60%, and delivered zero-incident Kubernetes upgrades across the estate.
I've also delivered a GCP AI platform MVP for a global Tier-1 investment bank in 90 days, covering Vertex AI, embedding-search ingestion, GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, and ADK agent deployment. Earlier at Capgemini and TCS, I delivered multi-cloud landing zones, application migrations, CI/CD platforms, infrastructure automation, and AWS cost optimisation for financial services, logistics, insurance, and automotive clients.
I build practical, secure cloud foundations with Terraform, Kubernetes, GitOps, observability, and policy-as-code. I enjoy turning difficult platform and delivery problems into repeatable engineering patterns while helping teams ship safely.
