Cloud & Migrations

Leading an Enterprise Cloud Migration

Led the migration of client infrastructure from on-premises to AWS — a scalable, secure cloud architecture with a real disaster recovery story.

My Role

Role: Technical Lead — Cloud Migration Scope: AWS architecture (VPC · Security Groups · Site-to-Site VPN), perimeter hardening, disaster recovery design Ownership: architecture → implementation → DR readiness

Key Contributions

  • Designed the AWS architecture — VPC, Security Groups, and a Site-to-Site VPN
  • Hardened the perimeter with FortiGate firewall
  • Defined the disaster recovery strategy as part of the design, not after

Lessons Learned

Plan DR from day one — retrofitting it is painful. Get network and security design right before moving workloads. Migrate in waves, not big bangs.
