About

Senior Managed File Transfer (MFT) Engineer with 9.5+ years of experience operating and stabilizing enterprise-grade file transfer platforms in high-volume, regulated environments. I specialize in enterprise MFT platforms including Cleo Harmony and IBM Sterling Integrator, supporting secure file transfers using SFTP, AS2, FTPS, and GSFTP across on-prem and cloud-integrated architectures (Azure Blob and AWS S3). My work focuses on platform reliability, security, and scale, including HA and DR operations, encryption and certificate lifecycle management, SLA adherence, and MTTR reduction for business-critical integrations handling multi-terabyte daily transfers. Currently working as an MFT SME at HCLTech, owning production MFT platforms, partner onboarding, platform upgrades, vulnerability remediation, and incident escalation with a strong focus on stability and compliance. Targeting Senior MFT Engineer, Lead MFT Engineer, or MFT SME roles within enterprise environments where platform ownership and reliability matter more than ticket volume.
