Architecting the future of enterprise tech

I'm a Technology Leader and Cloud Architect with over 18 years of hands-on experience building scalable, high-performance enterprise applications across some of the most demanding industries — healthcare, banking, and telecom.

My expertise spans the Java ecosystem, Spring Boot microservices, and event-driven architectures, combined with a strong grip on AWS, CI/CD automation, and containerization. I don't just write code — I design systems that last.

Currently leading engineering at Carelon Global Solutions, where I manage cross-functional teams, drive cloud-native transformation, and deliver platforms that serve millions of patients and claims at scale.
