My Journey

My path in technology has been driven by a fascination with data and the transformative power of the cloud. As a Sr. Enterprise Cloud Architect at SADA, I partner with organizations to design and implement strategic solutions on Google Cloud, specializing in Data, AI, and Machine Learning.

My experience spans roles from Sr. Data Engineer at TCS working on massive international projects like Vodafone's Project Nucleus, to Data Architect at Scotiabank laying the groundwork for their Global Asset Management Platform on GCP, and leading GCP practices.

But technology is only part of the story. My passion extends to sharing knowledge, giving back to the community, and fostering growth. I'm privileged to serve as a Professor at Centennial College, shaping future tech talent, and as Head of Technology & Growth at CareerHaki, where we focus on industry-specific, customized training and mentorship to help individuals navigate their career paths successfully.

My Philosophy

I believe in an innovative, passionate, and efficient approach. Whether architecting complex cloud systems or coaching aspiring professionals, my focus is on understanding the core challenge and developing tailored, effective solutions.

For CareerHaki, this means moving beyond generic advice to provide customized training that truly addresses industry needs and individual goals. It's about problem-solving and empowering others to achieve their best.

Beyond the Code: Adventures & Passions

Life isn't just about Data and architecture! When I'm not immersed in the cloud, you might find me exploring the globe – I've been fortunate to experience 18 countries so far. I'm an avid hiker, having summited Mount Kilimanjaro, a challenge that taught me immense lessons about perseverance. And like many, I have my sporting passions – cheering for FC Barcelona and following the Prancing Horse in Formula 1 (Forza Ferrari!). These experiences fuel my perspective and drive.
