Development Manager Next-gen Cloud Cybersecurity Data Path Team @Broadcom
Waterloo, ON, CA
Led a 15-member globally distributed engineering team delivering multiple key cloud datapath components within Symantec\'s Cloud Security Stack (Cloud SWG) on GCP/GKE.Key Accomplishments:• Rearchitected monolithic Proxy to Envoy-based microservices, integrating multiple parallel initiatives into a unified multi-phase delivery roadmap• Designed and deployed fully automated CI/CD pipeline (15+ stages), accelerating release cycles by 3× and standardizing deployments across teams• Introduced modern GKE operational processes (autoscaling, canary deployments, progressive rollouts), reducing operational manpower by 90%• Partnered with Google Cloud engineering to pilot and adopt emerging GKE features (multi-NIC networking, log analytics)• Scaled team from 2 to 10 members across multiple time zones, leading hiring, onboarding, and mentoring• Managed live operations of mission-critical services, owned cloud cost optimization, and established production readiness processesTechnologies: GCP, GKE, Docker, Envoy, gRPC, C++, Python, CI/CD, Telemetry, Prometheus, Grafana

SKILLS
ABOUT OOMMEN THOMAS K
I build and scale engineering teams that deliver mission-critical cloud security platforms at global scale. Over 20+ years, I\'ve transformed legacy systems into high-performance cloud-native architectures while leading distributed teams through complex technical modernizations.Most recently at Broadcom (formerly Symantec), I led a 15-member globally distributed engineering team responsible for multiple key cloud datapath components within the Cloud Secure Web Gateway (SWG) platform. My role spanned architecture, development, production operations, and modernization—delivering high-performance, reliable, and secure services that protected millions of users daily.I have a proven track record of:Modernizing monolithic systems into cloud-native, microservices-based platforms using Envoy and Kubernetes• Owning architectural roadmaps and translating strategy into predictable, phased delivery• Designing end-to-end CI/CD pipelines with progressive rollout strategies (canary deployments, feature flags)• Scaling teams and developing engineering leaders from early growth through sustained execution• Partnering with Google Cloud engineering to pilot and adopt new platform capabilitiesMy foundation includes deep expertise in networking protocols (TCP/IP, BGP, HTTPS/TLS, DPI), performance engineering, and carrier-grade systems—including architecting rack-scale hardware platforms that delivered 40× performance improvements.I thrive at the intersection of architecture, execution, and leadership, particularly in environments demanding high reliability, security, and continuous innovation. I\'m seeking senior engineering leadership opportunities where I can build exceptional teams while solving complex distributed systems challenges.
