About

Cloud Software Architect with 13 years designing and delivering scalable, secure cloud-native platforms across AWS and Azure. I turn complex platform problems into clean, production-ready architecture — and I mentor the teams that build it. What I do best: - Cloud-native architecture — Kubernetes, Golang, microservices, RESTful APIs, event-driven systems - Platform & edge engineering — image/build tooling, CI/CD, GitOps (Argo CD), policy-as-code (Kyverno) - Security & identity — multi-tenancy IAM, OAuth2/OIDC, Keycloak, API security, compliance - Multi-cloud delivery across AWS and Azure, with service mesh (Istio) and observability (Prometheus/Grafana) Highlights: - At Intel, I architected the multi-tenancy IAM layer for the Edge Manageability Framework and helped open-source it into the Open Edge Platform — now adopted by partners like Nokia. I also added NVIDIA GPU support via a Kubernetes GPU operator to enable AI/ML workloads at the edge. - At VMware, I built a Golang + Kubernetes Cloud Burst POC for dynamic scalability and created a static-analysis tool for OpenAPI 3 that hardens API security. - Earlier, I led engineering teams and delivered real-time, event-driven systems in fleet management and financial services (Wells Fargo, Barclays). Currently expanding into AI/ML infrastructure, GenAI, and agentic systems — building hands-on projects to pair platform depth with the next wave of AI-driven architecture. Certifications: CKAD (Kubernetes) · AWS Certified Developer. In progress: AWS & Azure Solutions Architect, Agentic AI.
