About Suresh Kumar P.

Hands on Solutions Architect with over 20 years at CGI, leading enterprise-scale cloud migration, modernization, and digital transformation initiatives. I design secure, scalable, event-driven architectures that align with business goals and deliver measurable impact. Led and delivered a scalable Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) using Amazon SQS, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and KMS, supporting millions of asynchronous transactions per day, improving system decoupling by 70%, and reducing processing latency by 45%. Achieved 2x improvement in scalability and fault tolerance, while ensuring high availability and secure data handling through managed encryption and serverless technologies. Migrated 15+ on-prem applications and 10+ servers to AWS, decommissioned a data center, and achieved a 30% reduction in infrastructure and licensing costs. Orchestrated production rollouts for 150+ microservices using Java, Springboot, API Gateway and OpenShift, improving deployment times by 40%.

   Customers - Cigna, Fidelity, Department of Job and Family Services(Ohio) and internal projects.* Migrated and Modernized On-Prem Servers/Applications to AWS: Successfully migrated 15+ on-premises applications and 10+ servers to AWS, reducing licensing and infrastructure costs by 30%. This transition resulted in an annual cost and led to the decommissioning of an on-premises data center.* Kubernetes Sticky Session Issue Resolution with API Gateway and OpenShift: Identified and resolved a critical sticky session issue affecting 50+ microservices deployed on Kubernetes using OpenShift and API Gateway. This fix enabled smooth application deployments to production, reducing deployment times by 40% and eliminating previous delays of 4 to 5 weeks in implementation.* Led the Design and Development of Event-Driven Architecture Applications: Spearheaded the design and development of innovative, event-driven applications leveraging AWS services including Lambda, SNS, SQS, S3, DynamoDB, and CloudFormation. Delivered highly scalable solutions that handled millions of events per day, ensuring 99.99% availability.* Disaster-Resilient, Cost-Optimized Solutions: Built disaster-resilient architectures that reduced downtime by 50% during failover events, with built-in automation for quick recovery. Optimized costs by implementing serverless components, reducing infrastructure costs by 35%, while maintaining high system performance under heavy loads.* Re-Architected and Migrated Struts-Based Framework to Spring: Led the re-architecture and migration of a legacy Struts-based framework to a modern Spring-based architecture. This transition enhanced security, scalability, improving system performance by 40% under peak load, and increased resilience.
