What I'm looking for

I seek senior architecture roles where I can lead cloud-native modernization, mentor teams, and deliver secure, scalable enterprise solutions aligned to business outcomes.

I am an enterprise solution architect with 23 years of IT experience building scalable, secure, and future-ready solutions that align with business goals. I translate business requirements into technical blueprints and provide architectural guidance across the SDLC.

I've led large technical teams in onsite–offshore models and driven cloud adoption strategies across AWS, Azure, and GCP while modernizing monoliths into microservices. My work spans domains including banking, insurance, retail, telecom, and manufacturing.

Technically, I am hands-on with Java/J2EE, Spring, REST, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Kafka, Spark, and multiple RDBMS and NoSQL databases. I embed security-by-design principles and focus on performance optimization, scalability, and operational efficiency.

I hold certifications including AWS Solutions Architect (Professional), PMP, TOGAF, Microsoft Data Engineer, Certified Scrum Master, and Certified Product Owner, and I consistently drive reusability, standards, and architectural governance to deliver business value.
