What I Architect

Cloud Architecture

Designing enterprise cloud strategies on Google Cloud Platform. Solution blueprints, reference architectures, and migration roadmaps aligned to business outcomes.

AI/ML Platforms

Architecting intelligent solutions with Vertex AI, BigQuery ML, and Gemini. Designing agentic AI systems, RAG pipelines, and multi-model orchestration frameworks. From feasibility assessment through production deployment of generative AI, predictive analytics, and autonomous AI workflows.

Solutions Design

Translating stakeholder requirements into scalable technical architectures. Cross-functional alignment, vendor evaluation, and technology roadmapping for enterprise transformation.

Migration & Modernization

Leading enterprise migration strategies from VMware to Google Cloud using GCVE and cloud-native refactoring. Conducting cloud readiness assessments, defining phased migration roadmaps, and modernizing legacy workloads for performance, scalability, and cost optimization.
