  • Expertise in enterprise cloud architecture, governance, and multi-cloud strategies, including advanced Kubernetes management and security.
  • Strong track record in cloud economics, cost optimisation at scale, and managing budgets effectively across multiple regions.
  • Proven ability to design and implement disaster recovery (DR) and high-availability (HA) engineering strategies.
  • Deep knowledge in performance optimisation, automation, and orchestration architecture, with hands-on experience in GitOps and CI/CD.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence senior leadership and align technical strategy with business goals.
