Your Contributions (include, but are not limited to):

• Cloud Architecture Design: Develop robust, scalable, and secure cloud architecture solutions aligned with business objectives. Drive the design and implementation of AWS infrastructure to ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery while integrating with on-premises systems. Autonomously lead engineering efforts for cloud architecture while ensuring security, quality, consistency, and scalability

• Spearhead the design and implementation of truly cloud-native solutions leveraging AWS's serverless computing ecosystem, including Lambda functions, Amazon Bedrock, API Gateway, and container services (ECS/EKS). 

• Design, deploy, and optimize solutions on AWS, leveraging specialized compute instances (e.g., GPU, FPGA) and parallel processing frameworks to meet compute-intensive workload requirements. Organize and lead user group discussions, incorporating user feedback into designs

• Scale-Out Storage Systems: Architect, design, develop, and manage scalable storage solutions on AWS (e.g., S3, EBS, EFS) and on-premises, utilizing distributed file systems and object storage technologies to efficiently handle large volumes of data. Identify and deliver scalable design patterns that provide best in class storage s
