Present
Technical Leadership & Service Ownership
- Acting Team Lead for a globally distributed team of 7 engineers, taken on during a team transformation
- Helped build the team from the ground up, expanding architectural scope from AWS to multi-cloud
- Own product roadmap, delivery timelines, and stakeholder management, working closely with the Product Manager to deliver a unified multi-cloud platform to three enterprise stakeholder groups
- Manage technical hiring and onboarding, including international onboarding conducted in Switzerland
- Mentor engineers and resolve technical blockers day to day
AI Tooling & Developer Productivity
- Developed an autonomous code-review agent using ONA that analyzes pull requests, suggests codebase refactoring, and asks reviewers targeted questions to improve code quality
- Built an AI-powered CLI with Amazon Bedrock for log analysis, reducing hours of debugging to minutes
- Wrote custom Python data pipelines that clean, deduplicate, and trim log streams before the LLM call, keeping token costs low while improving accuracy and speed
- Developed a Proof of Concept RAG pipeline on AWS to enhance the internal documentation portal
Zero-Trust Self-Service IAM & Kubernetes CI/CD Platform
- Replaced slow IAM access request tickets with a self-service, Terraform-based control plane where developers obtain temporary or permanent AWS access via OIDC, governed entirely by GitOps MR approvals instead of static keys
- Architected and developed a centralized, autoscaling GitLab Runner platform on AWS EKS (Fargate + Karpenter) and GCP GKE
- Delivered tenant-isolated build environments that securely process 1,000+ weekly CI jobs across 5 engineering teams
- Leading the migration of CI pipelines and codebase from GitLab to GitHub
Centralized Multi-Cloud OS Image Factory & Compute Operations
- Co-architected a multi-cloud OS image factory serving 500+ AWS and 100+ GCP accounts, owning the full image lifecycle: build, patch, release, communicate, support
- Built a fully automated, dynamically generated build, test, and hardening pipeline with automated release notes and stakeholder email communication
- Engineered pipelines provisioning 5 OS families and 20+ compute variants tailored for Base, EKS, ECS, GKE, Deep Learning, and Parallel Cluster workloads
- Set up specialized build pipelines for HPC/ParallelCluster and GPU-based Deep Learning images, modifying CIS hardening rules to support Slurm scheduling and complex ML networking
- Built a serverless AMI usage tracker and automated cleanup process retiring unused images, giving the team compliance visibility and saving roughly $10,000 in cloud storage costs
- Built self-service pipelines for cross-org image copying and SSM document-based server management
- POC self-service image-building CLI enabling anyone at Roche to customize an OS image while staying within compliant security standards
Serverless Patching Service for AWS
- Architected an event-driven, set-and-forget serverless patching platform (Lambda, EventBridge, SQS) automating monthly updates for 1,000+ EC2 instances across 500+ AWS accounts, reducing one week of manual work to one day
- Designed advanced governance controls and guardrails with pre/post-patch hooks and patch promotions, automatically filtering out ASG/EKS clusters to prevent disruptive reboots
- Took the service from MVP to adoption by 10+ product teams
- Developed a statistics and data processing pipeline tracking adoption metrics, using those insights to drive new feature development based on real user pain points
- Managed the AWS account management pipeline, implementing Service Control Policies (SCPs) and IAM hardening based on security protocols
Advocacy, Enablement & Communication
- Represented Roche at AWS re:Invent 2025 (Las Vegas) and KubeCon 2025 (Hyderabad), working directly with AWS Technical Account Managers (TAMs) to align internal architecture with new cloud features
- Conduct technical presentations for major platform releases and architecture updates to 200+ technical and business stakeholders
- Building a documentation hub for the team's services to strengthen team representation and the support model
- Directed monthly release cycles and recorded technical tutorial videos to streamline team and end-user onboarding
- Author technical and non-technical documentation and communications for cross-functional alignment
