Drove technical strategy and led cross-functional initiatives with Product, SRE, Security, and AI teams to deliver new platform capabilities.[Multi-Cloud Architecture & Stack] Engineered a highly available, cloud-agnostic runtime in Python on a Kubernetes (EKS) and Docker stack, using Terraform to abstract and manage complex infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure.[Operational Excellence & Reliability] Owned the complete operational lifecycle of the platform, establishing the team\'s on-call rotation, leading incident response and post-mortems, and building robust CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) and observability (Datadog) to guarantee service-level objectives (SLOs).
