Senior Cloud & Infrastructure Architect with over 20 years of experience, specializing in helping enterprises modernize their data platforms and automate complex deployments. Most recently, I served as a Senior Engineer at TD Bank (Risk Platform), where I architected a multi-stage ETL automation tool that streamlined the migration of gigabytes of mission-critical data from legacy systems to Azure. How I Can Help Your Organization: Cloud Migration: proven expertise in moving massive on-premise Big Data workloads (Hadoop/HDFS) to the Cloud (Azure/ADLS) with zero data loss. DevOps Automation: Architecting CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and "Blue/Green" deployment strategies to ensure zero-downtime releases. Resiliency & DR: Designing disaster recovery strategies for high-availability banking applications. I am currently available for B2B / Corp-to-Corp contracts to help teams accelerate their cloud transformation journey. Core Stack: Azure, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, IaC (Terraform, SaltStack), Python, Jenkins, Big Data (Spark/Hadoop).
