About
I turn product ideas into software that people actually use.
AWS Certified Solutions Architect and presales cloud architect with 4+ years of hands-on experience designing and deploying multi-tier, multi-AZ, serverless and hybrid AWS architectures for production clients. I run infrastructure assessments, apply the AWS Well-Architected Framework across every design, and author the full paper trail that gets a solution into production — SOWs, Assessment Reports, Solution Design Documents, Runbooks and Configuration Guides — alongside the Terraform that provisions it and the HLD/LLD diagrams that explain it to stakeholders. I also found and run ScaleForge Labs and its flagship product, BuildTracker, a live multi-tenant SaaS platform I architected and shipped on AWS end to end. That combination — real client-facing architecture work plus a real product I operate myself — lets me design solutions that are not just technically sound but genuinely operable.
