About Me

Pioneering the convergence of AI, Cloud, and DevSecOps to create intelligent, secure, and scalable enterprise solutions.

As a Cloud & AI Practice Lead, I specialize in building AI-powered cloud ecosystems that transform how organizations operate. My expertise lies in implementing AIOps solutions that leverage machine learning for predictive analytics, automated remediation, and intelligent observability across complex cloud environments.

With a deep background in multi-cloud architecture (Azure, AWS, GCP) and DevSecOps practices, I integrate security throughout the development lifecycle while enabling rapid innovation. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science focused on AI-driven cloud infrastructure and intelligent automation, I'm researching next-generation approaches to cloud management that combine advanced AI techniques with robust security frameworks.
