Delivered end-to-end migration of Oracle's Corporate Login from Oracle Internet Directory (OID) to IDCS — covering 30M+ corporate identities. Owned analysis, migration planning, integration gap resolution, and phased rollout coordination across internal and external customer segments. Fully live.
Served as one of 2-3 core engineers driving a complete overhaul of OCI internal product-to-IDCS AuthN/AuthZ — replacing client credential-based auth with certificate-based machine identity and On Behalf Of (OBO) token verification for customer-initiated flows. Coordinating phased rollout across 300+ OCI products including Fusion Apps, EBS, WebLogic, Directory Services, and GBUs (RGBU, FSGBU, CEGBU, HSGBU).
Redesigned App Deletion from synchronous to asynchronous processing, introducing retry logic for timeout resilience. Reduced deletion failures from ~15-20 per day to ~1-2 per week (~95% reduction) for apps with up to 10M+ associated identities.
Led end-to-end design and delivery of IDCS service onboarding — covering service registration, authorisation policy definition, role assignment, and creation-time validations. Designed SCIM provisioning and internal service-to-service APIs, and introduced automated secret rotation eliminating long-lived static credentials.
Deep SME in IDCS provisioning and synchronization subsystems — platform spans 100+ global regions (public and private), serving up to 150K enterprise tenants per region at up to 150K RPM. Owned escalated issue analysis for this P0 service, delivering root cause fixes that prevented recurrence across enterprise tenants.
Drove technical direction through design documentation and cross-team architecture reviews across provisioning, security, and onboarding domains; participated in the engineering hiring loop (3-5 candidates per quarter); mentored engineers through code reviews and architecture walkthroughs. Promoted to Principal MTS (IC4) in Sep 2024.

Led cloud migration of a read-intensive, high-traffic public website from on-premises data centres to Microsoft Azure for a global enterprise client, deploying across Azure App Services, AKS, Azure CDN, Blob Storage, Redis, and Function Apps — improving uptime SLA from ~99.5% to 99.95% and enabling on-demand autoscaling.
Redesigned the application's Web API layer into a microservices-based architecture (Java, ASP.NET Core), separating the CMS, content delivery, and mobile API concerns — cutting average API response times by ~40% and reducing memory footprint by 30%.
Built CI/CD pipelines using GoCD and Docker/Kubernetes for both backend services and front-end assets — reducing deployment cycle time from 2 days to under 2 hours and enabling zero-downtime releases.
Co-authored cloud migration strategy and go-live runbooks, coordinating cross-functional delivery across engineering, QA, infrastructure, and client stakeholders across US and India time zones — successfully going live on schedule with no critical P1 incidents in the first 90 days.
Integrated Akamai CDN and Solr-based search to optimize content delivery and search performance for high-traffic pages, achieving sub-200ms p95 load times globally.
