Summary
Infrastructure engineer with 9+ years of experience across cloud infrastructure, security, and DevOps. I’ve led small to mid-sized engineering teams, built secure and scalable platforms on AWS,Azure and GCP, and worked hands-on with Kubernetes, multi-cloud , hybrid infra and cloud security compliances (ISO, PCI DSS, NIST). I enjoy solving real-world scaling and security challenges and believe in building resilient, high-availability systems through a security-first approach .
