  • Mastery of cost control in GCP: committed-use discounts, custom machine types, billing export analytics, and budget alerts, plus high-availability patterns for resilience
  • Partnered with data teams to fine-tune architectures on Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Dataflow, and Dataproc—delivering performant, scalable analytics platforms
  • Proven leadership in guiding cross-functional teams and steering complex, multi-phase cloud projects to on-time delivery
  • Exceptional communicator, adept at crafting business-focused presentations and leading stakeholder workshops on GCP strategy
  • Strong problem-solver, experienced in diagnosing and resolving architectural challenges across compute, data, and networking domains
  • Skilled at stakeholder management, from technical deep dives with engineering teams to strategic discussions with C-level executives
