A visionary with the architectural skills, experience, and insight to transform any application, computing platform infrastructure or data operation to the cloud. I work on a daily basis with the CxO's of large enterprises across different industries as they embark on a Digital Transformation. A key part of digital transformation requires an organization to be data-centric. Organizations are on their journey to using Cloud and have started to migrate applications but also are looking at how to migrate their data operations and how to then build & deliver data services using the latest AI & ML services from the Cloud Service Providers.
