Greater Toronto Area, Canada
I am an Engineering Leader with 14+ years of experience across IT Systems Engineering, Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps, and Site Reliability Engineering. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across diverse industries including legal, banking and insurance, healthcare, energy, oil and gas, and the public sector, helping organizations design, build, and operate scalable, resilient technology platforms. My passion lies in building, coaching, and enabling high‑performance engineering teams. I believe sustainable impact is achieved when engineers are empowered with strong technical foundations, clear direction, and a culture that values ownership, learning, and continuous improvement. I bring deep experience in enterprise infrastructure and operations, with over a decade in customer‑facing and advisory roles at leading IT solution providers in Canada and India. My background spans Windows and Linux systems, VMware, hybrid architectures, and public cloud environments, where I’ve partnered closely with developers, QA engineers, architects, and business stakeholders to define future‑ready roadmaps that improve reliability while optimizing CapEx and OpEx. A core part of my leadership journey has involved hiring, onboarding, and mentoring cloud engineers and early‑career talent, helping them grow into confident, high‑impact contributors. I’m deeply committed to engineering enablement—creating upskilling opportunities, delivering technical brown‑bag sessions, and supporting engineers as they adopt new tools, platforms, and ways of working. I apply an SRE mindset to drive automation and reduce operational toil, leveraging infrastructure‑as‑code and modern tooling to improve system reliability, scalability, and efficiency. My hands‑on experience includes Azure and AWS, hybrid cloud architectures, and close collaboration with Cloud Solution Architects to deliver IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, compute, storage, and networking solutions. I also bring over six years of experience in DevOps and SRE practices, working with tools such as ARM, Terraform, Ansible, ELK Stack, GitHub, Jenkins, and Azure DevOps. I have led disaster recovery and business continuity initiatives and am recognized for clear communication, strong technical leadership, and executive‑ready presentations. Above all, I remain committed to continuous learning and staying aligned with evolving industry trends—particularly in cloud, reliability engineering, and AI‑driven platforms. I’m motivated by opportunities where I can scale impact by enabling engineers, strengthening platforms, and driving meaningful outcomes.
