Cloud Application Architect

Initiative — driven Cloud Application Architect with 4+ years of experience designing and scaling event-driven, cloud — native platforms across enterprise and global markets. I specialize in modernizing legacy systems — owning architecture from whiteboard to production — with deep expertise in backend engineering, distributed systems, and performance optimization. At Mercedes-Benz, I led a multi — country overhaul of the APAC sales platform — replacing synchronous bottlenecks with asynchronous microservices and streaming pipelines. I’ve architected intelligent systems that improved decision — making and operational efficiency — delivering a vehicle recommendation engine to enhance user experience and an automated observability solution that accelerated incident response and reduced resolution time. Published DevOps author and technical mentor, recognized for translating business needs into resilient system architectures. I lead with clarity, execute with precision, and deliver platforms that scale with confidence.
