Driving Innovation with Deep Technical Acumen & Hands-On Leadership With over two decades of experience, I am a highly accomplished Developer and Cloud Architect with a passion for building robust, scalable, and secure solutions. My career is defined by a deep technical foundation, a relentless drive to master new technologies, and a proven ability to get hands-on to solve complex engineering challenges. As a Kubestronaut and holding over 70 active certifications from industry leaders like Microsoft, CNCF, GitHub, and HashiCorp, I exemplify a commitment to continuous learning and staying at the forefront of technological advancements. This extensive certification portfolio, combined with practical experience, demonstrates my capacity to rapidly acquire and apply new knowledge, from cutting-edge AI services to advanced cloud-native architectures. My leadership roles, including Group Manager and Tech Lead at Avanade, have seen me guide engineering teams (1-8 members) through the full development lifecycle, delivering high-impact projects in GenAI, cloud migrations, and customer-facing platforms. While I excel at strategic direction and fostering team growth, I remain a deeply technical leader who is always ready to dive into the code, troubleshoot complex systems, and contribute directly to technical design and implementation. I specialize in building scalable, high-volume platforms and thrive in agile environments where operational excellence and high uptime are paramount. My expertise spans a broad technical stack, including .NET, .NET Core, Angular, Kubernetes, Docker, Python, C#, and various CI/CD pipelines. I am adept at setting architectural direction collaboratively and ensuring that technical solutions meet both business goals and the highest quality standards. My career aspirations revolve around leading innovative engineering initiatives that leverage emerging technologies to solve significant business problems. I am eager to contribute my blend of technical depth, leadership experience, and hands-on problem-solving to organizations that value innovation, continuous improvement, and impactful delivery.
