GenAI TechLead @ Synechron
About
I've spent 19+ years working in enterprise infrastructure, and the one thing I keep coming back to is this — technology only works when the people using it actually understand it. That's shaped how I approach every project I take on. My background started in storage and data center work, supporting HPE, NetApp, and Dell EMC environments for large enterprises. Over time I moved into cloud, spent three and a half years at AWS supporting customers across every storage service they offer, and more recently I've been building production GenAI platforms on AWS Bedrock from the ground up. At Synechron, I architected and deployed multiple RAG-based applications into production — using S3, Bedrock Knowledge Bases, OpenSearch Serverless, and Bedrock Agents. Everything was built through Terraform with least-privilege IAM, so we had zero manual console deployments across dev, staging, and production. I also led the CSP approval process for new GenAI services and put together standardized templates that brought onboarding time down from weeks to days. Before that, at Availity, I handled a full storage migration from Dell EMC VNX and VMAX3 to NetApp — solo. Racking, stacking, cabling, initial config, POC, and migrating workloads across VMware, OpenShift, and standalone services. That project taught me a lot about owning something end to end. One of the things I'm most proud of from that time is a bit different though. A customer kept escalating tickets, and after digging in I realized the issue wasn't the product — they just hadn't been trained on it properly. I asked my manager if we could run a two-day training session, put the content together myself, and delivered it. After that, the escalations stopped. They became confident, independent users. That kind of outcome matters more to me than closing tickets. I also became an S3 SME during my time at AWS and delivered internal training on FSx for Lustre. I genuinely enjoy helping people get more out of the tools they're already paying for. Right now I'm looking for senior roles in cloud architecture, AI infrastructure, or platform engineering where I can bring both the technical depth and the enablement mindset together.
