About me

Hi, I'm Amit. I'm a Cloud Security & Infrastructure Architect with 14+ years of hands-on experience working with some of the world's most demanding environments — Lloyds Banking Group (UK's largest bank), Standard Chartered Bank Singapore, and multiple Fortune-class US healthcare and tech clients. I've built careers, navigated corporate complexity, made hard calls under pressure, and continuously reinvented myself — from Unix administrator to Cloud Security Architect, from India to global remote engagements across UK, Singapore, and the US. But beyond the technical work, what I've noticed over the years is this: Most smart, capable professionals get stuck — not because they lack skills, but because they lack clarity. They don't know which direction to move. They second-guess big decisions. They feel stuck between what they're doing and what they feel they should be doing. They can't see their own blind spots. That's where I come in. What I can help you with: Tech Career Navigation — Breaking into cloud, security, or architecture roles — Building a certification roadmap that actually makes sense for your goals — Moving from execution roles to architect or leadership positions — Navigating career transitions within or beyond tech Cloud & Security Career Guidance — AWS, GCP, Azure career paths demystified — How to position yourself for global remote opportunities — What clients and hiring managers actually look for vs what job descriptions say — Building a credible personal brand in cloud and security Crossroad Decisions — Should I switch jobs or stay? — Should I go independent/consulting or stay employed? — Should I relocate or pursue global remote? — How do I evaluate an opportunity that feels both exciting and risky? Life Coaching & Direction — When your career is "successful" but something feels missing — Understanding recurring patterns in your professional life — Aligning your work with what genuinely drives you — Building long-term direction rather than just short-term moves Why talk to me specifically? I've been both employee and independent consultant — I know both sides I've worked across India, UK, Singapore, and US client environments — I understand global career dynamics I hold 10+ advanced certifications including AWS Security Specialty, CKS, AWS ML Specialty, and Google Cloud Gen AI Leader — I know what it takes to build credible expertise I've navigated multiple career reinventions myself — I'm not giving theoretical advice I combine technical depth with genuine human perspective — I won't just tell you what to do, I'll help you think clearly so you decide well I work best with: Tech professionals at 5–15 years experience feeling stuck or uncertain People considering independent consulting or global remote work Professionals wanting to break into cloud, security, or architecture Anyone facing a significant career or life crossroads and needing a clear thinking partner What I won't do: Give you generic advice you could Google Tell you what you want to hear instead of what's true Pretend I know everything — if something is outside my experience I'll say so
