Building Resilient, Scalable & AI-Powered Cloud Solutions

With 18+ years in Cloud, DevSecOps, and Infrastructure Automation, I've built and optimized platforms that drive efficiency, security, and scalability. My expertise lies in AWS (preferred), Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and DevSecOps.

Key Accomplishments

  • ✓ 62.5% cost reduction in AWS infrastructure through advanced workload optimization
  • ✓ Architected Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) with Terraform, Helm, and Python APIs
  • ✓ Implemented ArgoCD & Crossplane for GitOps-driven cloud provisioning
  • ✓ Designed MLOps pipelines using Kubeflow, MLflow, and Apache Airflow

I'm passionate about building resilient, scalable, and AI-powered cloud solutions. My focus is on cloud automation, FinOps, and DevSecOps—helping organizations achieve efficiency, security, and cost optimization at scale.
