Enterprise & Cloud Architect with 21+ years of experience, designing scalable, secure systems across enterprise and cloud environments.

I am an Enterprise & Cloud Architect with over 20 years of experience working across enterprise platforms and cloud environments.

My focus is on making sound architectural decisions that balance business priorities, technical constraints, and long‑term sustainability. I work closely with engineers, product teams, and stakeholders to ensure architecture enables delivery rather than slowing it down.

I have contributed to and led initiatives involving:

  • System design and distributed architectures
  • Cloud‑native and hybrid cloud platforms
  • Architecture governance and decision frameworks
  • Security, resilience, and operational readiness
  • Technical leadership in cross‑functional teams

I value clarity, pragmatism, and collaboration. I believe good architecture is not about adopting trends, but about choosing the simplest approach that works within real‑world constraints.

This site serves as a professional knowledge hub where I document architecture guides and reflections derived from practical experience and interview preparation.
