Senior Cloud Engineer

GUIDEWIRE

End-to-end ownership of AWS infrastructure engineering across a multi-account environment powering a global InsurTech SaaS platform. Core responsibilities span EC2 fleet management, VPC design with Transit Gateway and PrivateLink, EKS cluster lifecycle management, and security posture governance using GuardDuty, Security Hub, and AWS Config. Architected and led delivery of a fully automated End User Compute platform using Amazon WorkSpaces, integrating AWS Managed Microsoft AD, IAM Identity Center, and Lambda-driven provisioning workflows — reducing desktop onboarding time from days to under 30 minutes. Actively developing AI-powered operational tooling on Amazon Bedrock capable of triaging CloudWatch alarms, correlating multi-service metrics, and auto-generating incident runbooks. Own cost optimisation across the estate via Compute Savings Plans, EC2 rightsizing, and S3 intelligent tiering — delivering consistent year-on-year spend reductions. Also responsible for CloudTrail-based audit pipelines, AWS WAF rule management, and cross-team infrastructure enablement.

SYNECHRON

Led cloud infrastructure operations for a financial services firm running a hybrid architecture spanning multiple AWS regions and on-premises data centres via AWS Outpost racks. Designed and managed Outpost-resident workloads including EC2 instances, RDS on Outposts, and local S3 cache endpoints, ensuring data residency compliance for regulated workloads. Established Direct Connect redundancy with BGP failover and built a Transit Gateway-based hub-and-spoke topology for consistent network policy enforcement across the hybrid boundary. Deployed CloudWatch Agent at scale using Systems Manager (SSM) Distributor and Run Command, enabling unified observability across both cloud and on-premises compute. Owned VPC Flow Log analysis pipelines and contributed to security incident response playbooks.

Senior Cloud Administrator

GSLAB

Delivered AWS cloud consulting and administration for US partner Ampush, a performance marketing technology company running high-throughput, latency-sensitive workloads. Architected multi-region active-active deployments using Route 53 latency-based routing, Application Load Balancers, and Auto Scaling Groups with custom scaling policies. Built end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy integrated with GitHub, significantly reducing deployment lead times and manual release risk. Introduced Infrastructure-as-Code discipline using Terraform with remote state in S3 and DynamoDB-backed state locking. Designed and enforced a comprehensive tagging strategy with Cost Explorer dashboards to drive per-team cloud spend accountability. Hardened environments with AWS Config conformance packs, CloudTrail multi-region trails, VPC Flow Logs, and SNS-based alerting integrated into a centralised SIEM.

Senior Software Engineer

WIPRO

Began as an infrastructure engineer managing on-premises estates (Windows Server, RHEL, VMware vSphere) before progressively transitioning into AWS cloud operations. Handled L1/L2 escalations for mission-critical enterprise applications and built foundational AWS skills across EC2 provisioning, S3 lifecycle management, IAM policy administration, and CloudWatch dashboards and alarms. Contributed to early lift-and-shift migrations of on-premises workloads to AWS, working closely with solution architects to validate VPC designs, security group rules, and AMI hardening baselines. Managed ticketing workflows via ServiceNow, maintained SLA adherence across 24×7 on-call rotations, and mentored junior engineers on cloud fundamentals.
