Enterprise Architecture
End-to-end solution architecture, governance, design reviews, technical roadmaps and reusable platform patterns across enterprise delivery portfolios.
Senior Solutions Architect · Pune, India
Cloud architecture that survives production.
I design enterprise platforms across cloud, distributed systems and applied GenAI — combining architecture strategy with hands-on implementation, governance and delivery leadership.

What I bring
Architecture leadership backed by implementation depth. I focus on systems that are secure, observable, cost-aware and operable under real production constraints.
Cloud & Distributed Systems
Azure-first architecture with event-driven systems, microservices, CQRS, resilient APIs, caching, observability, IaC and DevSecOps.
Applied GenAI
Practical AI architecture spanning RAG, vector and vectorless retrieval, MCP, agentic workflows, human-in-the-loop controls and LLM observability.
Selected architecture work
Representative work across GenAI, Azure, data platforms, performance engineering, resiliency and cloud cost optimization.
AI-Powered Resume Scoring
Hybrid retrieval architecture using Azure AI Foundry embeddings and PostgreSQL/pgvector to rank resumes against job requirements.
Outcome: noticeably reduced recruiter screening effort in early rollout.
SolutionHub — Vectorless RAG
A 3,500-file internal Q&A platform using Postgres ltree document trees, sparse retrieval and LLM reasoning instead of a dedicated dense-vector database.
Outcome: sub-second navigation to relevant sections and zero LLM re-sync cost for unchanged files.
Customer Feedback Platform
Production Azure platform using Front Door, Static Web Apps, Functions and Cosmos DB, with AI-assisted moderation, zero-trust access and resilient operations.
Outcome: strong RTO/RPO performance and improved moderator throughput.
K-PIM Product Platform
Enterprise product-data architecture integrating Stibo Step, Hasura, PostgreSQL, Redis and Azure Data Factory across three regional markets.
Outcome: API latency reduced by 65% through caching and data-delivery optimization.
Feedback AI Modernization
Four-phase roadmap covering AI readiness, sentiment automation, privacy-safe RAG and a governed MCP ecosystem with PII controls and retrieval-quality metrics.
Outcome: adopted as a modernization blueprint for responsible AI-assisted feedback operations.
Digital Asset & CDN Optimization
Centralized Azure Blob and CDN architecture with automated cache policies, asset processing and Terraform-based delivery across four applications.
Outcome: ~50% infrastructure cost reduction (~$50K/year) and ~45% lower bandwidth usage.
Experience
Progression from full-stack engineering into technical architecture, lead architecture and enterprise solution ownership.
