Curriculum Vitae

Hello there,

I’m Arya, an AI & Data Architect working across EMEA. My skill set spans Generative AI, Data and Cloud architecture, delivery management, and customer-facing advisory.

I lead end-to-end AI, data and cloud programmes, from executive strategy to production, across cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) and on-premise. I advised over 15 clients ranging from startups to large international firms across various industries and countries, alongside global systems integrators and cloud providers.

I have extensive knowledge and expertise in various technologies, including SysOps (primarily Linux), Databases (all engines and types), Network, Cyber Security, Robotics, IoT, Computer Vision, Electronics, and hardware-related knowledge. Additionally, I am an expert in JIRA, Excel (including Power Query), and PowerBI. I use these tools to streamline traditional workflows and processes.

4 Macro skills

Generative AI & Agentic Architecture (RAG, agents, AI governance, evaluation)
Data Architecture (data governance, MDM, data quality)
Cloud / Solution Architecture (cloud & hybrid design, migration, FinOps)
Delivery & Programme Management (BAU, Deployment, Migration, Decommissioning, M&A integration, firefighting and recovery of critical projects, …)

Experience

I have tried a lot of different positions, industries & structures in order to have a better understanding of the world.
