Strong background in cloud infrastructure, automation, DevOps, and platform engineering. Exposure to multi-cloud (Azure, GCP) and hybrid architectures a plus.

  • Exceptional Communication : Skilled in translating complex technical concepts into business-aligned outcomes for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Effective at building trust and guiding cross-functional teams through ambiguity and change.
  • Business Development : Demonstrated ability to grow and expand client accounts by aligning cloud strategy with business needs, identifying opportunities for innovation, and delivering measurable outcomes.
  • Cloud Expertise : Advanced knowledge of AWS platform services and cloud architecture best practices related to networking, identity and access, compute, storage, observability, and cost optimization.
