Infrastructure :
Architects secure, scalable cloud runtimes for AI and machine learning
workloads, including GPU/accelerator compute clusters, model
training/fine-tuning pipelines, low-latency LLM inference endpoints
(Amazon SageMaker, AWS Bedrock), Vector Databases, Feature Stores, and RAG
retrieval infrastructure.

& Data Isolation : Implements cloud security controls including KMS customer-managed
key encryption at rest and in transit, private VPC endpoints (AWS
PrivateLink), fine-grained data access controls (AWS Lake Formation,
RBAC/ABAC), network segmentation, and secure data egress/ingress controls
compliant with GDPR and enterprise security baselines.

Optimization :
Owns cloud unit economics and cost management for analytical and AI
workloads. Establishes compute/storage autoscaling policies,
spot/graviton/reserved instance strategies, intelligent S3 storage
tiering, query cost attribution, and resource lifecycle automation.
