I design secure cloud, AI, and observability solutions for enterprise customers.
What I'm looking for
I've designed cloud, AI, security, platform engineering, and observability architectures for enterprise and public-sector environments, translating technical requirements into scalable customer outcomes.
At Datadog, I led technical discovery and solution architecture across 25+ enterprise engagements and delivered 20+ proofs of concept and demonstrations using REST APIs, SQL, cloud integrations, and observability workflows. I partnered with Account Executives on opportunities from $250K to seven-figure ARR, supporting technical validation, executive presentations, RFP/RFI responses, and solution strategy.
Previously at AWS, I advised 10–15 enterprise and public-sector customers on infrastructure modernization, application modernization, and cloud adoption. I conducted 25+ architecture reviews and designed secure AWS reference architectures using EC2, IAM, VPC, RDS, S3, Auto Scaling, and CloudFormation.
Today, I build hands-on multi-cloud architectures across AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry. I also develop RAG and generative AI prototypes and evaluate AI security and governance controls against the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
