Comfortable from IBM WebSphere and mainframes to serverless and Generative AI, he leads MLOps and GenAI initiatives that prioritize measurable business value over hype. A certified expert across AWS, GCP and Azure, he builds pragmatic DevSecOps guardrails using OAuth/OIDC, IaC and observability patterns. He has repeatedly delivered complex migrations and payment/real-time systems (including a 3.8TB DB migration and Kafka event streaming for high-volume payments) while mentoring teams on secure development practices. Based in Waterloo, Ontario, he is open to B2B and contract engagements with a proven track record in regulated, enterprise-grade delivery.
