As a key participant in Accenture's Amazon Business Group (AABG), focusing on cloud infrastructure solutions, I have played a pivotal role in assisting our enterprise clients with the integration of cloud-native architectures, the development of comprehensive data lakes, and the modernization of their applications. My expertise was instrumental in the creation and implementation of Accenture's Velocity Data Lake Fabric. This project was designed to establish the core infrastructure of a cloud-native data lake for enterprises, prioritizing security, governance, and operational efficiency to support a scaled DevSecOps workforce effectively. In addition to my practical experience, I hold the distinction of being an Amazon Web Services Certified Solutions Architect at the professional level, underscoring my technical proficiency and commitment to staying at the forefront of cloud technology advancements.
