PE-backed global HCM SaaS | Enterprise cloud modernisation, FinOps, and AI transformation
• Azure, AWS, .NET, AI Foundry
▸ Led multi-year infrastructure modernisation roadmap — migrating legacy .NET from VMs to Azure VM Scale Sets for
scalability, availability, and cost optimisation across production estate.
▸ Architected enterprise AI transformation PoCs using Azure AI Foundry, Copilot Studio, and Agent Framework —
delivering conversational AI and automated workflow capabilities.
▸ Built FinOps optimisation framework across multi-million dollar Azure estate, identifying 20% cost reduction opportunities
through structured cloud spend analysis.
▸ Leading initial-stage multi-year Azure-to-AWS migration — architecture design, dependency mapping, and phased
execution strategy across enterprise workloads.
▸ Applied Azure Well-Architected Framework assessments to produce strategic platform improvement roadmap, engaging
cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders.

Greenfield infrastructure for major public transit operator | Full IT stack ownership — SDLC through networking, security, data, and
DevSecOps
• SOC2 certified delivery
▸ Owned end-to-end cloud and technology adoption strategy — spanning application, API, data, DevSecOps,
infrastructure, networking, and security layers from greenfield.
▸ Delivered SOC2-compliant DevSecOps platform (GitHub Actions, policy-as-code, SAST/DAST), API Integration platform
(Azure APIM, OAuth2, mTLS), Data Engineering platform (Databricks, ADF, Data Lake, Unity Catalog), and Data
Governance platform (Azure Purview).
▸ Architected multi-hub and spoke hybrid networking on Azure — including ExpressRoute tunnel for Azure-Oracle OCI
multi-cloud connectivity, first of its kind in the portfolio.
▸ Designed and implemented full cybersecurity stack: Zero Trust, OAuth2, mutual TLS, IDPS, WAF — aligned to regulated
public infrastructure compliance requirements.
▸ Coached and mentored technology teams across architecture, engineering, and management — establishing
governance standards and modern best practices organisation-wide.

Healthcare SaaS | Site reliability, cloud data engineering, Kubernetes infrastructure, and IaC
• Azure, AKS, Terraform
▸ Site reliability engineering for Data and Analytics platform (Azure ADF, SQL, AAS, Power BI) — full IaC, application, and
DacPac deployment automation.
▸ Built Kubernetes infrastructure (AKS, Docker, Ingress, GitOps) and Azure IaC (Terraform, Ansible) covering virtual
networks, load balancers, AKS clusters, and security.

Fintech SaaS | End-to-end cloud transformation — microservices, event-driven architecture, AKS, DevSecOps, data, and multi-region
DR
• Azure
▸ Modernised applications to event-driven microservices: Azure Service Bus, .NET Core/C#, AKS, Ingress, WAF, service
mesh, and Clean Architecture DDD patterns.
▸ Implemented Azure DevSecOps (CI/CD with security and compliance gates, IaC via ARM templates, API automation,
continuous monitoring) and multi-region DR architecture.
▸ Built modern data architecture (ADF, Azure Storage, SQL, AAS, Power BI) and upskilled managers, developers, and
support teams through weekly architecture sessions.

Global financial services | CX digital transformation using RPA, cloud (PCF & Azure), AI/OCR, microservices, API gateway, and
DevOps
• Regulated financial environment
▸ Architected microservices platform (ASP.NET Core, Azure SQL, Apigee API gateway, Kafka, PCF) with full CI/CD
pipeline (Jenkins, SonarQube, Fortify OWASP, Concourse, Spring Config).
▸ Designed scalable enterprise RPA infrastructure and evaluated intelligent OCR and ML capabilities (Azure Cognitive
Services) for strategic digital transformation roadmap.
