Description

I’m a senior cloud and data architect with deep expertise in AWS, distributed systems, and modern data platforms. I help businesses design scalable, high performance architectures, from real time streaming pipelines and data lakes to microservices and AI powered systems.

Recently, I’ve been focused on building production grade GenAI and LLM solutions, including agent based workflows, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and scalable inference systems.

If you’re looking to turn complex ideas into reliable, cost efficient systems, I bring both hands on engineering depth and architectural vision to get it done right.
