What I'm looking for

I'm looking for senior cloud/platform roles where I can build resilient, secure, and scalable systems, work with cross-functional teams, and lead infrastructure and reliability initiatives in regulated enterprise environments.

I'm a cloud-native Senior Platform Engineer with deep experience designing resilient, secure, and highly performant systems for large-scale enterprises in healthcare and retail.

At Cognizant I delivered a FHIR R4-compliant API gateway on Kubernetes for Healthfirst, implemented multi-tiered Redis caching, and extended EKS with custom metrics to enable independent scaling of critical services.

I built event-driven, serverless microservices and compliance-as-code frameworks for Chick-fil-A, integrating SAP, EventBridge, and Lambda to handle over a million events daily while automating compliance and deployment safeguards.

Earlier, as an SRE-focused Software Developer II, I containerized MEAN-stack applications, implemented zero-trust RBAC models, and optimized large MongoDB datasets — all while building monitoring and SLO-driven observability that supported business KPIs.
