The Modern Architect
Associate Director, Systems Thinker, and Builder of Resilient Clouds across 20+ years of Iron-to-Cloud evolution.
Current Role
Associate Director (Infrastructure & Cloud Architecture) at Kyndryl India.
Target Vision
Seeking Principal Architect or Head of Infrastructure roles where I can leverage 20 years of "Iron-to-Cloud" experience to build resilient, scalable ecosystems.
IaC & Culture as Code
A script can build a server, but only engineering culture can maintain it. Automate the "boring stuff" to focus human energy on strategy.
Identity is the Perimeter
The static network perimeter is obsolete. Secure the Identity and the Data layer directly using Zero Trust microsegmentation.
Data Gravity & Cost Discipline
Architecture follows data flow. Treat cloud infrastructure spend as a core architectural design metric, not a post-facto invoice check.
