Cloud & Platform Excellence
- Design and deliver cloud-native, Kubernetes-based solutions with deep AWS expertise.
- Monitor and optimize cloud expenditure using FinOps practices.
- Lead initiatives for platform reliability, performance, and infrastructure cost management.

Experience & Leadership
- 10+ years of progressive experience in software architecture, including several at a senior/principal level.
- Demonstrated ability to influence and shape architectural direction at organizational scale.
- Proven track record leading technical transformation initiatives.
- Strong leadership and mentoring skills with the ability to inspire without direct authority.

- Experience with multiple cloud vendors and multi-cloud approaches.
- Strong DevOps/CI-CD background, with hands-on experience in Terraform.
- Familiarity with cloud cost optimization frameworks and FinOps practices.
