Platform Engineering & Cost Optimization (2022 – Present)

• Strategic Migration: Architecting the transition of a massive Elasticsearch-based SIEM footprint to Databricks, leveraging PySpark for scalable ETL and Delta Lake for optimized storage.
• FinOps Impact: Driving a multi-million dollar cost-reduction initiative by replacing high-cost indexing with a Lakehouse architecture, improving data retention by 30% while reducing infrastructure spend.
• Data Engineering: Designing distributed data processing jobs in PySpark to handle high-velocity security logs, implementing Z-Ordering and partitioning strategies to minimize query latency.

Microservices & Container Orchestration (2018 – 2022)

• Modernization: Led the migration of monolith services to a containerized microservices architecture using AWS EKS (Kubernetes) and ECS, enhancing deployment velocity by 40%.
• Resiliency Engineering: Implemented service mesh and advanced auto-scaling protocols to ensure 99.99% availability for critical banking APIs under peak seasonal loads.
• Standardization: Developed shared Terraform modules and CI/CD templates adopted by multiple teams to ensure security compliance and infrastructure consistency.

Cloud Transformation & Automation (2016 – 2018)

• Legacy-to-Cloud: Orchestrated the end-to-end migration of bank-critical applications to AWS, ensuring SOC2 and PCI compliance through automated security controls.
• Automation Rigor: Engineered a "zero-touch" deployment pipeline using Jenkins and GitHub, significantly reducing Time-to-Market (TTM) for new feature releases.
• Monitoring: Established a comprehensive observability stack using Datadog and New Relic, reducing Mean Time to Detection (MTTD) of production incidents by 50%.

• Accelerated the stabilization of core media delivery infrastructure, focusing on high-availability system performance and proactive bottleneck identification.

• Maintained existing software applications by troubleshooting issues and applying fixes.

• Managed SAN/NAS storage environments for enterprise clients, focusing on disaster recovery planning and high-performance data provisioning.
