About
I'm a Principal Cloud & DevOps Engineer with deep roots as a Java developer—I even authored a book, early in my career , on Apache Wicket, a Java web framework still used in enterprise and financial systems today. Having spent my career at places like Oracle, Goldman Sachs, and E*TRADE, I've ended up somewhere between software engineering and cloud infrastructure. I don't just keep servers running; I actually understand the code that's running on them. Over the years I have walked into messy, high-volume systems and turned them into something stable, automated, and built to scale. My dev background is what makes that possible—it's why I can build infrastructure tools from the ground up, automate migrations across hundreds of enterprise clients, and keep global cloud fleets running. A few things I've done that I'm proud of: Scale: Managed global fleet operations and patching for over 25% of Oracle's integration cloud, and automated backend provisioning to close operational gaps that used to eat up everyone's time. Development roots: Spent years working on high-volume Java/ Java EE web frameworks, custom caching systems, and trade verification tools that had to meet Federal Reserve requirements. Migrations at scale: Led the migration of 300+ enterprise clients to newer cloud architectures, and built custom tooling to make the whole process less painful. Multi-Cloud Perspective: Beyond OCI, I've built personal AWS projects to translate my cloud architecture and automation experience across platforms—strengthening a vendor-agnostic approach to infrastructure design Up to date with all Gen AI concepts with hands-on knowledge on RAG, MCP, Agents, Eval, Security, Observability using AWS Strands and Agentcore Tools I work with: Apache Airflow , Oracle Cloud (OCI), AWS, Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, Docker, Python, Spring, Grafana, Java / Java EE , Oracle Analytics Cloud, AWS Bedrock, AWS Strands
