I am a seasoned solutions architect with close to 10 years of experience having completed my recent stint with Akamai in APJ region. I am proficient in onboarding and managing premium clients like Citi Bank, DHL, DBS Bank, Banyan Tree Hotels etc.

Sharing below a short gist of my work :

• Received endorsements from Citibank customer for onboarding multiple applications in short notice and implementing graceful draining requirement for their multi-origin servers
• Handled complex GTM requirements for DHL along with Disaster Recovery solutions
•  Implemented DNS Onboarding : Primary and Secondary Zone, DNSSEC Setup, ZTA for premium clients like DBS Bank, Bangkok Bank
• Proficient in SSL network and Certs- Initiate cert procurement, cert renewal, SNI certs, VIP certs and cipher profiles for all customers

I have recently relocated to Aarhus, Denmark and have a valid work permit.

At Akamai Technologies, as a Solutions Architect, I worked directly with enterprise customers across industries to design and implement high-performance, secure, and scalable solutions. This involved detailed architecture sessions, proof-of-concept deployments, and performance optimizations for web and API delivery. I collaborated closely with public cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, integrating Akamai’s edge platform with customer cloud environments to improve latency, availability, and cost efficiency. My work required translating complex technical requirements into actionable, customer-centric solutions, while maintaining strong relationships with both engineering and business stakeholders.

Previously, at Huawei Technologies, I engaged with hardware and OEM engineering teams to support integration of software components into cloud and networking solutions. I contributed to system design and validation involving OpenStack, Kubernetes, and Linux-based infrastructures, often interfacing with silicon vendors and device partners to ensure software compatibility and performance tuning at the hardware level.

These experiences strengthened my ability to bridge the gap between engineering depth and customer needs — whether guiding cloud architecture design, optimizing infrastructure performance, or aligning technical solutions with strategic business goals. I enjoy working in cross-functional, multi-vendor ecosystems.
