30% lower cloud spend by unifying SS&C's platform

Problem A large enterprise estate had grown into siloed, hand-built deployments across teams. Releases were inconsistent, failures were hard to trace, and every environment drifted from the last.
What I did
Consolidated the fragmented services onto one standardised Kubernetes platform across EKS and AKS
Led Terraform adoption so provisioning came under version control, with reusable modules and remote state
Built GitLab and Jenkins pipelines that unified release workflows across multiple engineering teams
Introduced Argo CD for GitOps release management, backed by centralised monitoring and logging
Outcome One architecture and one operating model for every team, full deployment traceability, and a large reduction in operational complexity and recurring incidents.
Stack AWS EKS, Azure AKS, Terraform, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Argo CD, Prometheus, Grafana
