Experience

1. Architect at Oci Edge Cloud

   Oracle

   Jan 2018 — Present · Broomfield, CO, US

   I lead a global engineering team responsible for the planning, design, and implementation of Oracle Edge Cloud, including Compute Cloud@Customer, Private Cloud Appliance (PCA) and OCI Roving Edge Infrastructure My team of 20+ engineers across the US, Ireland, and India brings deep expertise in compute, storage, networking, and cloud automation.Key achievements include delivering NVIDIA L40S GPU support, Compute Cloud at Customer Isolated (C3I) for Edge Cloud Products, modernizing infrastructure with Kubernetes, and driving cloud-native automation for system testing and validation across OCI regions. I serve as the Single Point of Contact for Oracle Cloud test strategy, automation, and integration with Oracle Flash Storage (Block, File, Object) and Edge Cloud.I’ve designed and implemented container-based automation in Python to continuously run end-to-end test suites across OCI regions. This framework supports failure handling, telemetry emission, Grafana reporting, and object lifecycle automation.I work closely with Program and Product Managers to define program roadmaps, support development teams with debugging, performance tuning, and ensure best practices across delivery phases. I help shape the strategic technical direction and execution plans aligned with product vision.Delivered end-to-end Kubernetes support on Edge Cloud platforms, including persistent storage, disk resize, and customer-facing deployment docs. Experienced in Hybrid Cloud architectures, DevOps, CI/CD, Terraform, and advanced infrastructure technologies including Flash Storage, ZFS, NVIDIA GPUs, and Oracle Exadata.With 19+ years of experience, I combine deep technical knowledge with strategic leadership to deliver scalable, reliable, and modern cloud solutions.
