Experienced Cloud Architect with over 16 years of comprehensive development and architectural expertise within the software industry. I have worked on various client-side projects spanning different business domains in Saudi Arabia, Singapore & the United Kingdom. Currently, I am working as a Principal Engineer(AWS) with a financial services company, Arcesium (a former entity of US Hedge Fund company, D.E. Shaw Co). Here, I manage data engineering, cloud infrastructure (AWS), the whole SDLC process (using GitLab), and work on Machine Learning models using AWS Bedrock. I have also spearheaded cloud infrastructure development in the past at a leading SaaS-based IPO bound Startup and have migrated the whole product from Salesforce to AWS bringing a significant reduction in billing cost to the company. Furthermore, I love technologies & continue to invest my time in learning new things and using them in my work and I hold triple active certifications in AWS, along with individual certifications in Google Cloud and Azure, as well as all certifications in Kubernetes, including CKAD, CKA, CKS, KCNA, and KCSA. I also have a passion for contributing to various open-source projects of CNCF and Terraform from HashiCorp and writing blogs on cloud-native technologies on Medium/LinkedIn/Dev.io sharing the knowledge with others and developing the community.
