## About

Multi\-Cloud Certified Solution Architect and GenAI technology leader with 17\+ years of experience driving enterprise\-scale digital and cloud transformations across Azure, GCP, and hybrid platforms like Azure Stack and Kubernetes\. I specialize in architecting geo\-distributed, resilient, and AI\-infused products that scale globally and deliver measurable business value\. Currently serving as a Technical Architect in EY’s Cyber Operations portfolio, I lead GenAI integration across cybersecurity products—building prototypes, designing architecture, and deploying intelligent solutions using Azure OpenAI, Cognitive Services, and Machine Learning\. My innovations include a Cyber Knowledge Graph, AI\-enhanced Pen Testing Report Generator, and a SOC Analyst Copilot—tools that have reduced operational costs, accelerated decision\-making, and enabled real\-time threat mitigation\. Previously, I served as a Platform Success Developer Advocate for EY Fabric, the global tech backbone for cloud\-native service delivery\. In this role, I evangelized and enabled adoption of services like Kubernetes as a Service, API Management, and AI services —empowering teams across EY to accelerate their cloud\-native application development\. My earlier roles at Dell EMC, Cisco Systems, and Dell R&D shaped my deep technical foundation\. From building automation platforms for Azure Stack and UCS to leading end\-to\-end product development for Microsoft SCCM integrations, I’ve consistently delivered scalable, secure, and impactful technology solutions\. With a unique blend of technical depth, product thinking, and business alignment, I thrive in high\-impact roles where I can shape cloud strategies, lead GenAI\-driven innovation, and guide organizations in building future\-ready, intelligent platforms
