Principal Cloud Architect
Migration, Modernization and AI/ML Infrastructure
Forward Deployed Engineer at heart, specializing in one thing: saying “BRING IT ON” to complex customer challenges.
With 15+ years in customer-facing technology roles, I’ve worked across the full customer lifecycle—from pre-sales and solution architecture to post-sales delivery, adoption, and product growth. Along the way, I’ve partnered with organizations across FinTech, Healthcare, Automotive, Government, Energy, and other industries, helping turn challenging business problems into practical technology outcomes.
As a Principal Cloud Architect and technology leader, my experience spans cloud strategy, architecture, migration, modernization, FinOps, AI, data platforms, SaaS, and enterprise architecture across AWS, GCP, and complex multi-cloud environments. I’m most comfortable where the problem isn’t perfectly defined, the architecture isn’t obvious, and someone needs to bridge the gap between customer, product, engineering, and business.
I enjoy getting close to the customer, understanding the real problem behind the requirement, rolling up my sleeves, and figuring out how to make things work. Whether that means designing an architecture, building a proof of concept, solving a difficult cloud challenge, optimizing economics, helping shape a product, or working alongside engineering teams, my approach is simple:
