About

As a Cloud Solution Architect at Tata Consultancy Services, I design scalable, secure, and high-performing cloud solutions with a strong focus on AWS Data Analytics and hybrid cloud environments. My role involves driving cloud modernization, large-scale migrations, and data-driven architecture to help organizations maximize the value of their cloud investments. I specialize in integrating AWS Data Analytics services, including Data Lake solutions, Amazon EMR, AWS Glue, and Athena, to support enterprise-wide data management and analytics initiatives. With a strong foundation in cloud automation, I have designed and implemented Infrastructure as Code (IaC) pipelines using Terraform and Jenkins, enabling seamless provisioning, scalability, and migration of containerized applications to AWS EKS. My work spans high-level architecture design, translating business requirements into actionable cloud solutions, and leading initiatives in data modernization, cost optimization, and operational excellence. I am passionate about solving complex integration challenges and delivering reliable, secure, and future-ready cloud platforms. ๐“๐ž๐œ๐ก๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ & ๐๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฌ: โ˜ ๐‚๐ฅ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฌ: AWS , Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure โš™ ๐ƒ๐š๐ญ๐š ๐€๐ง๐š๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐ฌ & ๐‹๐š๐ค๐ž ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ: AWS Data Lake, EMR, Glue, Athena, S3-based storage patterns, data pipelines ๐Ÿš€ ๐ƒ๐ž๐ฏ๐Ž๐ฉ๐ฌ & ๐€๐ฎ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, Jenkins, Terraform, Git ๐Ÿ”„ ๐‚๐ฅ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐Œ๐ข๐ ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง & ๐ƒ๐ข๐ฌ๐œ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ: AWS MGN, CloudEndure, Cloudamize ๐Ÿ“Š ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐  & ๐Ž๐›๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐š๐›๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ: Splunk, AWS CloudWatch, SCOM ๐Ÿ’ป ๐’๐œ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  & ๐€๐ฎ๐ญ๐จ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: Python, PowerShell ๐Ÿ–ฅ ๐Ž๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐’๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฌ: Linux, Windows Server (2003โ€“2019) ๐ŸŒ ๐๐ž๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ : TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP ๐Ÿ›ก ๐ˆ๐๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ & ๐€๐œ๐œ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐Œ๐š๐ง๐š๐ ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ: Windows Active Directory, AWS Directory Service, Azure Active Directory ๐Ÿ’ก ๐•๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: VMware, Hyper-V. ๐Ÿค–๐†๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐€๐ˆ ๐๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฌ : Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q Business I am committed to building reliable, scalable, and secure cloud environments that empower businesses to modernize, optimize, and innovate with confidence.
