At Mindsprint, my role as Director of Infrastructure – Cloud leverages expertise in cloud solutions and a solid foundation in cybersecurity, shaped by a Postgraduate Diploma in Cyber Security from Amity University and another in Information Technology from Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning.

My competencies have been honed through strategic initiatives in cloud services at Olam Information Services, where I served as General Manager before my current tenure. Armed with an Azure Administrator Associate certification and AWS Solutions Architect credential, I deploy sophisticated cloud infrastructures that meet evolving business needs.

I bring a rare combination of technical depth and executive leadership — aligning IT operating models with business outcomes, steering demerger programmes, and building resilient, scalable infrastructure across global organisations.
