Senior Principal Architect \| Building AI Accelerators for Enterprise DevSecOps \| Scaled 50\-Eng Orgs at Pharma & Retail \| LLM Infrastructure • Cloud\-Native SRE

## About

Engineering orgs are drowning in AI tooling with no governance layer\. Every team picked their own Copilot, Codex, or self\-hosted Ollama model — and now you can't trace contributions, enforce policies, or pass an audit\. I solve this problem at scale\. I architect AI\-native Internal Developer Platforms that give engineering leaders control without killing velocity\. Platforms where AI agents and human engineers collaborate under unified governance — every AI\-generated commit traceable, every policy violation caught pre\-merge, every compliance framework upheld\. Over 17 years, I've built the infrastructure that lets companies move fast and stay compliant\. I've led 50\-engineer DevOps teams at multiple enterprise clients, architected zero\-downtime migrations of 2,000\+ repositories, and shipped AI\-powered DevOps engines that score capabilities across domain\. Some numbers that matter: → 98\.5% reduction in project onboarding time \(4 weeks → 30 minutes\) across 1,000\+ projects → 2,000\+ repositories migrated with zero downtime, zero manual intervention → 50\-engineer org built from scratch, with end\-to\-end hiring ownership → All 4 DORA metrics instrumented as core platform capability across global markets I don't just deploy Kubernetes clusters\. I design the platform layer that turns infrastructure into competitive advantage\. GitOps pipelines that reduced deployment friction by 98%\. AI governance agents that enforce security parity for machine\-generated code\. ML\-based anomaly detection that catches production issues before customers do\. AI systems I've taken to production: • DevOps Maturity Assessment Engine — L0–L4 framework, persona\-driven \(CTO, Architect, Engineer\), automated gap analysis and roadmap generation • DORA Intelligence — automated failure triage, classification, and deployment risk advisory • Agentic Bitbucket Cloud Migration — fully autonomous pipeline, zero manual intervention across 1,300\+ repos • MCP Server for repo analytics and AI\-powered code review I've done this work across pharma, retail, and financial services\. For engineering orgs with 50 people and 500\. The pattern is the same: companies that treat platform engineering as strategic win\. Companies that treat it as "just DevOs" fall behind\.
