Compute Architect - Datacenter, Virtualization & Kubernetes Platforms
Professional Summary
Seasoned Compute Architect with 15+ years of experience designing and transforming enterprise datacenters into modern, cloud-ready platforms. Deep expertise across Unix/Linux (RHEL), Kubernetes & OpenShift container platforms, VMware virtualization, IBM storage, and Rubrik backup solutions.
Proven ability to drive infrastructure modernization (VM → Kubernetes containers), high availability design, and cost optimization, enabling scalable, resilient, and automated platforms for mission-critical workloads.
Core Competencies
• Datacenter Architecture & Modernization
• Kubernetes & Container Infrastructure
• Red Hat OpenShift Platform Engineering
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) & Unix
• VMware vSphere / ESXi / vCenter
• IBM Storage (FlashSystem, SAN, Spectrum)
• Rubrik Backup & DR Solutions
• High Availability (HA) & Disaster Recovery
• Platform Engineering & Automation
• Infrastructure as Code (Ansible/Terraform - optional)
• Hybrid Cloud & Multi-Cluster Design
Datacenter Architecture & Strategy
• Architected next-generation datacenter platforms integrating virtualization and Kubernetes-based container infrastructure
• Defined reference architectures for compute, storage, and DR aligned to enterprise standards
• Designed scalable, multi-site HA environments supporting Tier 0/1 applications
Kubernetes & Container Platform Engineering
• Designed and deployed enterprise Kubernetes infrastructure (both standalone and via OpenShift)
• Built multi-cluster, production-grade Kubernetes platforms with HA, auto-scaling, and workload isolation
• Led migration of applications from VM-based infrastructure to containerized microservices architectures
• Defined namespace architecture, resource quotas, and multi-tenant governance models
• Integrated Kubernetes with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and logging platforms
OpenShift Platform
• Led OpenShift architecture and cluster design, including multi-zone resiliency
• Enabled enterprise-scale container adoption through standardized platform services
• Designed self-service developer platforms improving release velocity and agility
Linux / Unix Platform Engineering
• Architected large-scale RHEL/Unix ecosystems for mission-critical systems
• Standardized OS builds, patching, security compliance, and lifecycle management
• Tuned systems for high performance and workload optimization
VMware Virtualization
• Designed and optimized VMware environments (vSphere, DRS, HA, vMotion)
• Led legacy workload consolidation and migration strategies toward container platforms
• Improved infrastructure utilization and reduced footprint through virtualization strategies
IBM Storage Architecture
• Designed storage solutions using IBM FlashSystem, SAN fabrics, and replication technologies
• Implemented high-performance, tiered storage architectures
• Supported Kubernetes/OpenShift with persistent storage and CSI integration
Backup & Disaster Recovery (Rubrik)
• Implemented policy-driven backup and recovery using Rubrik
• Designed immutable backups and ransomware-resilient architectures
• Led DR drills, ensuring RTO/RPO compliance for critical workloads
Key Achievements - Example
• Spearheaded hybrid infrastructure transformation (VM + Kubernetes) improving scalability by 40%+
• Reduced infrastructure cost by 25% via VM rationalization and container adoption
• Designed multi-cluster Kubernetes platform, enabling enterprise-wide container standardization
• Achieved near-zero downtime architecture through HA and DR engineering
• Accelerated deployment cycles by 50% through platform automation and self-service infrastructure
Skills: High Performance Computing Architecture
Experience Required: 6-8, Project Code :
