Amazon EKS and large-scale self-managed Kubernetes clusters.
• Migration Leadership
o Lead complex On-Prem → AWS and intra-AWS migrations involving VPC
redesigns, account realignments, multi-region moves, and host
architecture changes.
o Drive migrations from shared-tenant EC2/EKS deployments to AWS
Dedicated Hosts, ensuring compliance, performance, and workload
isolation.
o Conduct infrastructure assessments, migration strategies (rehost,
replatform, refactor), and detailed cutover planning.
• AWS Dedicated Host Expertise
o Design and manage workloads running on AWS Dedicated Hosts, including
host allocation, tenancy planning, compliance alignment, and lifecycle
management.
o Optimize compute planning, licensing models, capacity strategies, and
high-availability architectures using Dedicated Hosts.
o Ensure secure and compliant hosting for sensitive workloads requiring
physical isolation and regulatory controls.
• Kubernetes & Platform Engineering
o Architect and manage large, multi-cluster Kubernetes environments with
enterprise-grade reliability and security.
o Define compute and scaling strategies using EC2, EKS, Bottlerocket,
autoscaling groups, and Dedicated Hosts–backed node groups.

architectures, and cluster lifecycle automation.
• Governance, Security & Compliance
o Develop and enforce IAM architectures, guardrails, cloud governance,
and security policies aligned with CIS, NIST, and organizational
standards.
o Partner with Security and Compliance teams to implement hardening,
encryption, network segmentation, and threat detection.
• Operational Excellence
o Lead performance tuning, capacity planning, resiliency engineering,
and availability design for large-scale AWS workloads.
o Define operational playbooks for deployments, monitoring, backups,
DR/HA, and workload lifecycle management.
o Mentor engineering teams on AWS architecture patterns, DevOps
practices, and migration execution.
• Cross-Functional Leadership
o Serve as a trusted advisor to engineering, SRE, product, and executive
leadership.
