About

I am an Architect with 17+ years of experience designing and delivering large-scale platforms, cloud modernization programs, and enterprise authentication solutions across Healthcare, ERP, Security, and Advisory domains. My expertise spans platform architecture, microservices, API-first design, IAM modernization, and infrastructure automation using AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, NGINX, and Auth0. I specialize in enabling enterprise products to scale reliably through reusable architecture frameworks, strong engineering governance, and integration strategy. I have led architecture for: 🔹 A next-gen federated authentication platform supporting tenant-level identity workflows across multiple products 🔹 A multi-modal AI training platform used by Fortune 100 automotive and insurance clients 🔹 A cloud-native baseline platform for healthcare micro frontends that reduced product build time significantly 🔹 Modernization of legacy workforce and SIEM platforms used across globally distributed enterprises Beyond hands-on architecture, I play a key role in capability development, pre-sales, RFP responses, and mentoring engineering teams to build scalable, secure software. Core strengths: ✔ Enterprise Platform Architecture ✔ Cloud Strategy & Migration (AWS) ✔ API Gateway & Integration ✔ IAM, Auth0, Zero-Trust Design ✔ DevOps, CI/CD, Kubernetes ✔ Architecture Governance & Mentorship Currently based in London, and always interested in conversations around platform modernization, identity innovation, and cloud-native architecture at scale.
