Professional Experience
Solutions Architect / Lead DevOps Engineer
- Lead architectural design and technical oversight for cloud infrastructure solutions across multiple DataCloud division products, defining architecture standards for scalability, security, and cost efficiency.
- Design multi-service, multi-region AWS architectures using Terraform IaC — VPCs, security boundaries, ECS/EKS clusters, serverless Lambda functions, RDS databases, and S3 storage tiers; including passive/active and passive/passive DR strategies aligned with the Well-Architected Framework.
- Architect end-to-end CI/CD platforms with Jenkins and GitHub Actions; automated deployment workflows reduced deployment time by 40% and significantly improved release reliability.
- Pioneer AI-driven automation frameworks using the MCP protocol, designing intelligent solutions for incident response, infrastructure provisioning, and deployment orchestration.
- Define DevSecOps architecture embedding Trivy and SonarCloud scanning, vulnerability management, and compliance controls across the full SDLC.
- Design container orchestration architectures for ECS and EKS with auto-scaling policies that reduced infrastructure costs by 25%.
- Establish observability architecture with CloudWatch, Dynatrace, and Splunk; proactive detection and automated remediation reduced MTTR by 35%.
- Mentor team of DevOps engineers, delivering architectural guidance, technical roadmaps, and design reviews for complex cloud solutions.
DevOps Engineer
- Designed and deployed AWS cloud architectures using Terraform IaC, establishing infrastructure design patterns and best practices for multiple production environments.
- Architected CI/CD pipeline solutions with Jenkins, designing automated deployment workflows that eliminated manual intervention and improved release cadence.
- Designed Kubernetes (EKS) orchestration architectures with Docker, ensuring high availability, horizontal scalability, and fault tolerance.
- Designed comprehensive observability solutions with Dynatrace and Splunk, improving system visibility and reducing mean time to resolution.
- Architected network topologies including VPCs, subnets, security groups, and routing configurations following AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices.
DevOps Engineer
- Designed and maintained Azure cloud infrastructure architectures using Terraform and ARM templates across multi-environment deployments.
- Architected CI/CD solutions with Jenkins and Azure DevOps for automated, multi-environment application deployment pipelines.
- Designed Kubernetes orchestration architectures for containerized workloads, optimizing resource allocation and platform performance.
- Designed monitoring and logging architectures with Grafana, App Insights, and Splunk for proactive issue detection and SLA compliance.
DevSecOps Leader
- Led enterprise-wide DevSecOps transformation, architecting security standards, quality metrics, and DevOps practices adopted across all product teams.
- Designed and established the enterprise technology stack: Azure DevOps, GitHub, SonarCloud, Terraform, AKS, Trivy, and DataDog.
- Architected container security and vulnerability management framework using Trivy, Qualys, and Dependency-Track.
- Defined DevOps metrics framework (MTTR, CFR, Lead Time, Deployment Frequency) with PowerBI dashboards for executive-level visibility.
- Designed automated onboarding architecture for new teams, reducing setup time from weeks to days.
Security Leader
- Architected enterprise cloud security stack: Zscaler, Proofpoint, Cylance, CrowdStrike, Sumologic, and CyberArk across a global organization.
- Led security team responsible for perimeter security design, VRMS scans, remediation frameworks, and regulatory compliance controls.
- Ensured alignment of security architecture with cybersecurity standards, data privacy regulations, and corporate compliance requirements.
Datacenter Performance Manager
- Managed on-premise datacenter architecture for Windows and Linux server fleets, ensuring high availability and operational continuity.
- Administered Active Directory, Group Policy Objects, and identity and access management across the organization.
- Implemented backup and high-availability solutions for critical infrastructure systems.
