About

I am a Senior Technical Program Manager with 20+ years of experience driving infrastructure-centric programs across telecom, retail, semiconductor and enterprise platforms. My strength is in owning complex Linux and cloud environments end-to-end—stability, automation, and reliability—while coordinating globally distributed engineering and operations teams. My work blends two dimensions: deep hands-on technical capability (Linux, AWS, virtualization, advanced scripting) and program execution & governance (risk, incident, change, platform outcomes). I have repeatedly been trusted to stabilize environments, modernize them, and automate mission-critical workflows across large organizations. Core strengths: 🔹 Linux Architecture & Infrastructure Engineering 🔹 AWS (EC2, VPC, IAM, Security, Storage) 🔹 Platform Automation (Shell, Python) 🔹 Hybrid/Cloud Migrations & Reliability 🔹 Infrastructure Program Management 🔹 Incident and Problem Governance 🔹 Stakeholder & cross-functional coordination I am particularly passionate about: ✔ making infrastructure dependable and cost-efficient ✔ reducing operational toil with automation ✔ improving service resilience and MTTR ✔ aligning technical execution with business outcomes Career Intent: I’m looking to contribute as a Principal-Track Technical Program Manager or Infrastructure Architect—roles where I can leverage both architecture thinking and disciplined delivery to help organizations run reliable and scalable platforms. Whether it’s automating long-standing manual processes, rebuilding environments after failures, or guiding infrastructure modernization, I bring calm execution, hands-on depth, and a platform-first mindset. If you are building or scaling infrastructure, cloud, reliability, or hybrid platform programs, I’d be glad to connect.
