Cloud Solutions Architect | Senior Cloud & AI Engineer | Researcher

I'm an accomplished Cloud Engineer holding a Master's in Computer Science, backed by over 8 years of experience designing scalable solutions across hybrid cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and GCP). I specialize in Generative AI, HashiCorp ecosystem, and DevSecOps practices, successfully delivering multimillion-dollar initiatives for Fortune 500 organizations. Over the last 3 years, I've had the privilege of leading cross-functional teams through complex cloud transformations.

(April 2025 - Present)

I am actively contributing to AI Safety research focusing on the vulnerabilities of LLMs to multilingual jailbreaks. My work expands upon prior research by:

• Operating across 6–8 distinct languages.
• Applying strict statistical rigor, including 95% confidence intervals and novel evaluation metrics.
• Pioneering a pivot-to-English baseline defense mechanism designed to significantly reduce harmful bypasses while minimizing false positives/over-refusal.

Supported major enterprise clients including Grainger, Transunion, Southwest Airlines, and more.

• Cloud Migration & Architecture: Executed zero-downtime, multi-cloud migrations and engineered containerized deployments. Designed AWS prescriptive guidance blueprints that cut API resource build times from hours to just minutes.
• Leadership: Spearheaded project teams to achieve a 25% increase in on-time delivery while personally exploring emerging technologies to boost team innovation adoption rates by 25%.
• Technical Pre-sales: Crafted detailed, precise SOWs with program managers, significantly improving timeline accuracy and reducing billing discrepancies.

Led DevSecOps practices for clients like United HealthCare, Optum, and Cigna.

• Pipeline Optimization: Architected highly available AWS/Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, slashing deployment times by 40% and increasing release cadence by 25%.
• IaC Transformation: Fully migrated existing manual infrastructures to Terraform, reducing configuration time by 70%.
• Talent Acquisition: Drove technical hiring initiatives, decreasing time-to-hire by 30% and significantly boosting engineering candidate retention.

• Built Kubernetes and Docker containerized pipelines that increased overall developer productivity by 20%, earning consecutive "Best Team Performer" awards.

• AI & ML: Generative AI, Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, LangChain, LangGraph, pgvector
• Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Azure, GCP, HashiCorp (Vault, Consul, Boundary, Packer), DataDog, Splunk
• Certifications: Building Agentic AI Applications (Early Adopter), AWS Certified AI Practitioner
