Summary

A Dynamic executive with 10+ years of cloud expertise, evolving from an intern to CTO of Cloudlytics, a CSPM platform and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blazeclan. As one of the first certified AWS Solution Architects, I transformed a side project into a SaaS Cloud Log Analytics product early in my career. With deep product development experience, I nurtured a product-focused mindset within my team, aligning critical business and technological strategies with market needs. My leadership in building the Cloud Security Posture Management platform addressed SMBs’ evolving cloud security requirements.

In my journey, I played a key role in presales for Blazeclan, contributing to the growth of Cloud Managed Services, Application Modernization, and Data Modernization practices. While driving product strategy, I forged new partnerships, achieved AWS competencies, and secured key industry certifications, including ISO 27001, ISO 22301, and SOC2 Type 2, ensuring product and organizational compliance with the highest standards.
