Ravi Shankar Mittal

I’m a seasoned Azure Cloud & DC Migration Architect with over 18 years of diverse experience leading cloud transformations, data security implementations, and IT infrastructure modernization across global enterprises. Currently serving as a Cloud Migration & Data Security Lead at Thales India, I specialize in designing secure, scalable, and cost-optimized cloud solutions across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud platforms.

My core expertise lies in managing end-to-end cloud adoption strategies—delivering seamless migrations, enhancing cybersecurity postures, and ensuring enterprise-grade uptime (99.99%). I've successfully led the migration of business-critical systems with zero downtime, integrated DevSecOps pipelines to accelerate deployments by 40%, and implemented cost governance frameworks that reduced cloud spending by up to 30%.

I combine strong technical acumen with proven project leadership, having managed multi-vendor teams, driven Agile delivery models, and ensured compliance with global standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001. From Zero Trust security architecture and high-availability designs to automation via Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD pipelines, my solutions are rooted in efficiency, resilience, and compliance.

Before joining Thales, I spearheaded the UNIX cloud data centre migration for Jio Platforms Ltd., contributing to the Digital India Smart City initiative. My role involved orchestrating large-scale cloud deployments, containerizing workloads using Kubernetes and Docker, and reducing incident resolution time by 40% through proactive DevOps enablement.

I bring to the table a rare blend of technical depth and strategic foresight. Whether it's managing enterprise-wide transformations, leading performance optimization sprints, or training cross-functional teams, I thrive at the intersection of people, process, and platform.

I’m currently open to remote opportunities as a Cloud Project Architect, Infrastructure Consultant, or IT Delivery Lead, where I can continue driving digital innovation, secure cloud adoption, and infrastructure excellence.
