CTO, Cloud & Scalable Solutions Expert | Startup Tech Mentor
Hello!
With 9+ years as a `Cloud Architect` and `Tech lead`, I specialize in building scalable micro services, fault-tolerant and highly available applications using agile software development methodology. I have worked with tech companies like `Amazon (AWS), Oracle Cloud, IBM Cloud, LexisNexis AI` in the past and bring wealth of knowledge as seasoned tech leader. With a rich history of designing, orchestrating, and executing large-scale applications that sustain over 10,000 transactions per second, and maintain 99.99% uptime, I've consistently delivered products known for their scalability, availability, and robust performance.
As a strategic advisor and CTO, I have led many Seattle startups in the e-commerce, pharma, healthcare, and data/digital realm; some resulted in multi-million dollar revenue, another led to an acquisition by a publicly traded company.
My expertise is full-stack software, platform, and API/services development, plus end-to-end product and project management.
