About Me

I am a Cloud and AI architect with 8 years of experience delivering enterprise solutions across BFSI, healthcare, and automotive sectors. I focus on building systems that work reliably in production — not just in design.

My work spans cloud architecture, security, AI automation, and FinOps, with ownership from brief through to live delivery. I have led pre-sales engagements, shaped multi-year client roadmaps, and managed engineering teams of 25 to 100 people across CloudOps, SecOps, and SRE.

Key results include $5M+ in documented cloud savings, remediation of 10,000+ security vulnerabilities, and AI systems running autonomously in production.
