About

I lead engineering teams, not just infrastructure. With 10+ years in DevOps and cloud, I currently manage a 30-member team at Accenture — engineers, senior analysts, and 5 team leads — running enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure at scale. My team owns 200+ EKS clusters, multi-region environments, and the uptime commitments that Fortune 100 clients depend on. What I actually do as a manager: — Set technical direction and own delivery accountability across the team — Build and mentor team leads, not just manage tickets — Drive platform initiatives end-to-end: OMS to AMA migrations, Linux patching programs at scale, CI/CD standardization, observability uplift — Translate infrastructure complexity into business outcomes: 40% monitoring improvement, 15% reduction in deployment failures, 99% uptime on enterprise SLAs I operate at the intersection of deep technical depth and people leadership. I don't just know what Terraform and Kubernetes do — I know how to build the team that runs them reliably at enterprise scale. I'm now targeting remote-first Engineering Manager roles where I can own platform strategy, scale engineering teams, and drive cloud infrastructure maturity at the organizational level.
