Served as enterprise infrastructure architecture lead for Intel semiconductor FAB manufacturing and corporate environments, defining storage, backup, and virtualization reference architectures used across multiple engineering teams. Architected FAB-adjacent and HPC infrastructure to support 24x7 production-critical operations and tuned compute/storage patterns for GPU workloads using Slurm. Led migration of legacy storage/backup infrastructure with security-by-design and change-control, and delivered global data center build-outs across multiple sites. Implemented hybrid platform patterns with Kubernetes and Rancher, automated virtualization operations with VMware tooling, and improved resilience using AWS S3-based backups and AWS Backup-driven DR.

Governed large-scale enterprise storage environments (thousands of controllers and exabyte-scale capacity) and defined data center consolidation and build-out architectures. Led global migration and build-outs with planning for rack deployment, power/cooling, network segmentation, and cross-site transfers while maintaining availability. Delivered enterprise storage transformation initiatives that reduced backup costs and supported mission-critical applications with high-availability storage architecture. Conducted hybrid cloud storage POCs integrating AWS and GCP for object-based backup and validated secure networking and encryption approaches for enterprise workloads.

Managed NetApp storage infrastructure supporting mission-critical global semiconductor/GPU workloads. Ensured operational support for storage services at production scale for engineering and GPU-related usage.

Provided end-to-end technical support for server, storage, and backup environments. Worked to keep performance aligned with service-level expectations while resolving infrastructure issues and ensuring stable operations.

Managed HPC-focused infrastructure operations for Intel, including server builds, storage provisioning, and backup operations. Supported data center migrations and day-to-day operational delivery for semiconductor engineering workloads. Coordinated infrastructure changes to maintain reliability during migrations and evolving capacity needs.

Administered network and system infrastructure, handling daily operations and user support. Monitored system reliability and supported troubleshooting for infrastructure issues affecting internal services and users. Maintained operational stability for hosted systems and network connectivity.
