About

7+ years building secure, scalable cloud platforms on AWS and Azure with Terraform, Kubernetes (EKS), and CI/CD automation. Strong FinOps track record, LLM token cost observability, OpenTelemetry/SigNoz, Scrut compliance, and IAM-hardened data platforms—so teams ship fast without losing governance.

Day to day: multi-tenant data landing zones, cross-cloud transfers, production forensics, and Python automation that cuts operational toil.
