About

Cloud Architect with 17+ years of experience leading AWS and hybrid cloud transformations for global enterprises across banking, healthcare, airlines, and logistics. Currently at IBM, I design and deliver secure, scalable, and compliant cloud architectures while managing and mentoring high-performing engineering teams. I specialize in enterprise cloud migration, modernization, and governance, leading 100+ large-scale migrations from on-premises to AWS hybrid environments. My work spans landing zones, IAM/SSO, EKS, network architecture, security, compliance, and disaster recovery, with a strong focus on regulated workloads common in Europe. I consistently drive FinOps initiatives, achieving 20–25% cloud cost optimization. As a people manager, I lead multi-disciplinary teams (architects, DevOps, SREs, project managers), own architecture strategy, delivery governance, and stakeholder alignment, and act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership. I balance hands-on architecture with team growth, hiring, mentoring, and performance management. I bring strong European project exposure, including work with Swiss Post, Bank of Ireland, and Iberia Airlines, and am experienced in cross-border collaboration and compliance-driven environments. 📍 Open to Principal Architect / Cloud Manager roles in Europe | 🛂 Visa sponsorship required
