What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead cloud-native platform architecture and DevOps transformation, building reliable, scalable AWS and Kubernetes systems for enterprise and AI workloads while mentoring teams and improving cost efficiency.

At Talentica Software, I lead cloud infrastructure and platform engineering for enterprise products, including Anoki AI's multimodal GenAI platform for Connected TV. I architect AWS and Amazon EKS platforms for high-throughput media ingestion, streaming, and GPU-enabled ML workloads.

For Anoki AI, I designed a Kafka-backed event-driven ML platform, multi-GPU infrastructure, GitOps delivery with Argo CD, and observability across Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, and New Relic. I reduced cloud infrastructure costs by 45% through Graviton adoption, rightsizing, Savings Plans, workload segmentation, and EKS network optimization.

I also modernized an ecommerce loyalty platform by migrating Lambda workloads to Kubernetes and reduced deployment time by approximately 30% using CircleCI. Previously at Capgemini, Kognetics, and Acuminous Software, I built AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, data ingestion workflows, logging platforms, and containerized application environments.

I lead architecture reviews, establish platform standards, and mentor DevOps engineers while working closely with engineering and product stakeholders. My hands-on work spans Terraform, Kubernetes, Kafka, Python, GitOps, automation, observability, security, and cloud cost optimization.
