Principal cloud, identity, and artifact owner across 4 regions — the AWS organization (IAM, SSO, KMS, service-control policies), Okta as super admin, and JFrog Artifactory governance across every environment and banking tenant. Operate 10+ production Amazon EKS clusters (~2,300 pods) across Singapore, Ireland, Sydney, and Mumbai — version upgrades, node-group design, Karpenter autoscaling, and cluster networking. Extended the platform beyond AWS into GCP and Azure — managed Kubernetes (GKE, AKS), compute, storage, networking, and identity, all provisioned through Terraform for one consistent operating model. Lead cloud cost optimization across the fleet — right-sizing EC2 instances and EBS volumes, migrating the storage layer from EBS to S3, and Karpenter consolidation autoscaling — sustained with no capacity or reliability regressions. Maintain a Cloudera / Hadoop stack (Trino, HBase, Hive) with ScyllaDB and Apache Kafka; resolved ZooKeeper authentication contention and kept HDFS utilization within safe headroom. Ship zero-downtime Blue-Green deployments for the SBC and Thunes platforms using NGINX traffic shifting and GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Enforce SOC 2 / CIS security controls — MFA, directory audit logging, CrowdStrike Falcon EDR, and Snyk scanning across container images and repositories.
