As a Senior Architect Engineering Platforms and domain expert, I drive functional performance by designing and implementing enterprise engineering platform solutions that enable secure, scalable, and efficient software delivery. I am responsible for defining and evolving Dev Sec Ops  capabilities and architecture across source control, CI/CD, artifact management, cloud platforms, and AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., Git Hub, AWS, JFrog, Claude Code, Open Code).

I align engineering platforms with Enterprise Architecture, ensuring integration across technology domains. I work at group, department, and cross‑functional levels to establish standards, drive adoption, and improve developer experience, delivery velocity, and security posture. I collaborate closely with Engineering, Product Management, Security, and Infrastructure teams to ensure platform capabilities align to product roadmaps, business priorities, and long‑term enterprise strategy.

• Develop and drive engineering platforms and Dev Sec Ops  strategy in alignment with enterprise architecture, product roadmaps, and business objectives.
• Collaborate with Product Management, engineering, and security stakeholders to align platform capabilities with product needs, ensuring seamless integration into development workflows.
• Lead the design and governance of end‑to‑end Dev Sec Ops  architecture, integrating Git Hub, AWS, JFrog, security tooling, and AI‑assisted development platforms.
• Define and enforce standards for CI/CD, infrastructure‑as‑code, software supply chain security, and cloud engineering practices.
• Ensure the quality and effectiveness of major platform initiatives through sound architectural design, early risk identification, and implementation of mitigation strategies.
• Advance technical expertise by mentoring engineers and architects, promoting the adoption of modern engineering practices and platform capabilities.
• Source and evaluate emerging technologies in Dev Sec Ops , cloud platforms, and AI‑assisted development, integrating relevant advancements into enterprise strategy.
• Apply innovation by designing and implementing scalable platform solutions that improve developer productivity, software quality, and security outcomes.
• Shape and manage relationships with vendors (e.g., Git Hub, AWS, JFrog) and external partners to align capabilities with enterprise needs and drive value.
• Ensure adherence to corporate standards, including security, compliance (e.g., GxP), and data protection requirements.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field with 9 years’ experience;
  Master’s Degree with 8 years’ experience;
  PhD with 4 years’ experience.
• Experience in software engineering, platform engineering, or Dev Sec Ops  in enterprise environments.
• Deep expertise in engineering platforms and tooling, including Git Hub, AWS, JFrog, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure‑as‑code.
• Experience implementing Dev Sec Ops  practices, including secure software supply chain, vulnerability management, and policy‑driven controls.
• Familiarity with AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Open Code) and their application in engineering workflows.
• Proven ability to design and implement enterprise‑scale platform architectures and drive cross‑functional adoption.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with Product Management to align platform capabilities with product strategy and delivery needs.
• Strong influencing skills and ability to work effectively across diverse teams and senior stakeholders.
• Proven track record of improving engineering delivery outcomes, developer productivity, and security posture.
