👥Leading high-performing SRE teams
🤖Architecting cloud infrastructure & AI
⚡Automating infrastructure at scale
25 years of building scalable infrastructure + AI-first automation
_
With over 25 years in technology infrastructure, my career has evolved from foundational on-premises systems to specialized expertise in cloud services and Site Reliability Engineering. I currently lead SRE teams optimizing cloud infrastructure for modern workloads, including microservices, containerized applications, and AI/ML services.
My expertise spans AWS, Microsoft Azure, and multi-cloud architectures. I specialize in designing resilient systems using Infrastructure as Code, Python-driven automation, and modern DevOps workflows. From managing 24x7 global infrastructure to implementing disaster recovery strategies, I leverage both traditional SRE practices and emerging technologies to deliver exceptional reliability and performance.
I'm passionate about automation—whether through IaC, Python scripting, or intelligent tooling that reduces operational toil. My approach combines deep technical expertise with pragmatic implementation: infrastructure optimization, incident response, proactive monitoring, and security-first design. Every challenge is an opportunity to build systems that are resilient, scalable, and maintainable.
Beyond technical implementation, I focus on building high-performing teams and fostering collaborative culture. With a Master's degree in Information Systems and experience spanning financial services enterprises to fast-growing startups, I bring both academic rigor and real-world battle-tested solutions to complex infrastructure challenges.
Led comprehensive migration of global infrastructure from on-premises to AWS cloud for financial services firm. Architected multi-account AWS landing zone with Terraform automation and CI/CD pipelines. Achieved zero downtime migration with significant cost savings and improved system reliability to 99.99% uptime.
Built comprehensive IaC platform using Terraform, enabling teams to provision AWS infrastructure through standardized modules. Implemented GitOps workflows with automated validation. Reduced infrastructure provisioning time from weeks to hours while ensuring compliance standards across thousands of cloud resources.
Designed and deployed enterprise-wide monitoring solution using CloudWatch and Datadog across multi-region AWS infrastructure. Implemented Datadog APM for distributed tracing and Synthetic Monitoring for proactive uptime checks. Reduced MTTR by 60% and achieved proactive incident detection before customer impact.
Leading Site Reliability Engineering teams across multiple cloud platforms and regions. Established SRE best practices and implemented Agile workflows. Mentored engineers in cloud-native technologies while building high-performing teams focused on AWS optimization and infrastructure automation greatly reducing incidents.
Proactively executed disaster recovery plans that kept all critical cloud services operational during Hurricane Sandy when main office lost power. Years of planning with multi-region AWS architecture and automated failover procedures enabled 100% uptime for mission-critical systems during this unprecedented crisis.
Architected enterprise-wide AWS security framework implementing IAM best practices with Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) and zero-trust networking principles. Established threat detection and incident response procedures with automated monitoring ensuring proactive security posture across multi-region infrastructure.
I'm always eager to connect with fellow engineers to discuss SRE best practices, explore cloud architecture challenges, and share insights on building reliable systems. Whether you're looking to discuss reliability engineering, need consulting guidance, or want to chat about the latest in DevOps and infrastructure—I'd love to hear from you.
