Cloud Architecture & Multi-Cloud Engineering
Expertise in designing and delivering multi-cloud and hybrid cloud platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including Well-Architected reviews, High-Availability, Disaster Recovery, and Landing Zones for enterprise-scale workloads.
AI & ML Engineering
Hands-on experience with GenAI, RAG, Embeddings, AI Search, TensorFlow, Keras, scikit-learn, and AI Foundry, enabling the design and delivery of production-grade agentic and ML platform architectures.
Enterprise Cloud Migration & Modernisation
Deep track record in legacy-to-cloud migrations, monolith decomposition, and microservices modernisation in complex, regulated environments including tier-1 banking and large-scale enterprise organisations.
Regulated & Compliance-Aware Delivery
Extensive experience delivering banking-grade, security- and business-critical workloads with compliance-aware architecture and data sovereignty requirements in financial-services environments.
Kubernetes & Platform Engineering
Proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, OpenShift, Flux, and related tooling for building and operating resilient, observable platforms with SRE practices and FinOps principles.
Backend Development & API Engineering
Strong background in backend development using Spring Boot, FastAPI, Node.js, REST, gRPC, GraphQL, APIM, and Kong for scalable, production-grade service delivery.
Messaging & Event-Driven Architecture
Practical experience with Kafka, ActiveMQ, JMS, MQTT, Event Hubs, and Pub/Sub for designing event-driven, distributed microservice architectures.
Data Engineering & Databases
Broad knowledge of relational and NoSQL databases including PostgreSQL, MS SQL, Oracle, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, DynamoDB, and Cosmos DB for data-intensive enterprise solutions.
Programming Languages
Fluency in Java, Python, Rust, C, C++, Kotlin, TypeScript, SQL, Bash, and PowerShell, enabling full-stack and systems-level engineering across diverse technology stacks.
Infrastructure as Code & DevOps
Experience with Terraform, GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, and related CI/CD tooling for automating infrastructure provisioning and software delivery pipelines.
