Hybrid Multi-Cloud Architecture: Proven experience architecting and deploying secure enterprise landing zones across Microsoft Azure, AWS, and customer-managed physical colocation data centers.
Automated Discovery & Dependency Mapping: Track record of using automated discovery tools (Device42, Azure Migrate, AWS Application Discovery Service) to ingest raw infrastructure data, map multi-tiered network topologies, identify hidden database/third-party API dependencies, and flag compatibility risks prior to wave execution.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation: Demonstrated history of establishing automated execution pipelines using Terraform and Ansible to auto-deploy and harden target cloud environments to precise corporate security baselines.
ServiceNow & CMDB Integration: Direct experience integrating migration lifecycle gate approvals, technical cutover runbooks, and validation logs into ServiceNow CMDB systems of record to deliver auditable, exportable closeout packages (XLSX, CSV, JSON, XML).

Database & Data Platforms: Architectural knowledge of database migration, replication, and data-parity validation across PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle.
Networking & Security: Strong grasp of enterprise Cisco WAN/routing, firewall rule mapping, TLS/SSL encryption in-transit and at-rest, least-privilege role-based access control (RBAC), and network segment isolation.
Automation & Scripting: Expert proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible), Python, and PowerShell for automated provisioning, configuration management, and post-cutover testing.
ITSM & CMDB: Deep familiarity with ServiceNow (ITSM, ITOM, CMDB) for Configuration Item (CI) mapping, dependency tracking, and generating audit-ready closeout packages.
Discovery Toolsets: Hands-on skill with Device42, Azure Migrate, AWS Migration Hub, and packet/flow analysis tools.
Responsible AI & Security Guardrails: Familiarity with private-boundary AI/automation tools for dependency analysis, ensuring zero external data leakage and maintaining mandatory human-in-the-loop technical verification.
Stakeholder Management: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to represent technical architectures, cutover runbooks, and risk mitigation strategies directly before executive leadership, application business owners, and cross-functional technical delivery pods.
