Cloud Strategy Consultant building at the intersection of technology and business transformation.
As a first-generation American born member of my family, I take great pride in the courage it took for my grandparents and parents to upend their lives and move half way across the world to the United States. Continuously striving for success each day of my life is the best way I know how to ensure their sacrifices result in the fruition of every hope and dream they had for our family.
After graduating from Georgia State University with my BBA in Management Information Systems and a specialization in Cyber Security, I accepted a full-time offer to start my career at Deloitte Consulting in February 2018.
See My JourneyOver the course of my career, I have worked as a Cloud Strategy Consultant in Deloitte's Cloud Engineering practice, primarily focused on helping Financial Services clients achieve their digital transformation goals through leveraging the benefits of cloud computing. I hold certifications from the 3 largest Cloud Service Providers: Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.
My experience includes cloud native architecture, data center migration, infrastructure stabilization, disaster recovery capability enablement, and cloud native application development.
The 22 months I spent at DoorDash as a Strategy & Operations Analyst offered me some of the most valuable experiences I've had to date. Working for a pre-IPO startup in a hyper-competitive and growth-obsessed environment allowed me to explore several aspects of the business that I would not have otherwise seen.
While I was initially hired to help build out and train our driver base, my role quickly expanded to on-boarding restaurant partners to the delivery platform, building out customer facing web interfaces, and identifying ways to optimize and scale our business.
During the Spring semester of my Junior year, I was extended an opportunity to join Grant Thornton, LLP for a summer internship in their Risk Advisory Services practice. I gained experience in Special Attest Reporting (SAR) and SOC II compliance audits for clients across a wide spectrum of industries including manufacturing, healthcare, and financial services.
The internship culminated with a client pursuit strategy presentation delivered to senior leadership in which my team and I identified a high value account with professional services fees potentially worth $1M+.
As a college student, I came across a little known (at the time) grocery delivery startup that offered flexible work in the gig economy. My passion for technology and its innovative uses to disrupt long-standing industries is exactly what drew me in to work for a startup like Instacart.
Working as an independent contractor taught me how to manage my brand and cultivate my reputation as a top performer. I consistently received top ratings for customer service, product quality, and selection accuracy.
Have a project or opportunity in mind? I'd love to hear from you.
