I build secure cloud-native platforms, automate DevSecOps operations, and lead global identity security engineering teams.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've led secrets management platform engineering at Citi in Singapore, supporting enterprise applications and operations teams across APAC. I managed CyberArk and HashiCorp environments, modernized CyberArk infrastructure, and delivered a compliance-driven data center exit program.
I build secure, resilient platforms using CyberArk, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, PowerShell, Python, and Linux. My work includes privileged access management, vulnerability remediation, disaster recovery, certificate lifecycle management, and integrations with LDAP, RADIUS, Splunk, SNMP, and ServiceNow.
At Barclays, I led IAM Infrastructure and DevOps teams across the US and APAC, supporting 200+ Linux, Windows, physical, virtual, and AWS servers. I helped move manual build and deployment processes to Jenkins-driven CI/CD pipelines and owned 24x5 production support, incident management, upgrades, patching, hardening, and compliance delivery.
More recently, I built and launched a cloud-native Property Operations Platform in 10 weeks and designed a reproducible self-hosted Kubernetes platform on AWS. I also use AI-assisted engineering tools including Claude Code and OpenAI Codex to accelerate software development, automation, documentation, and operational workflows.
