Bruce’s Professional Resume

Objective

Senior cloud infrastructure architect with 10+ years architecting nationwide enterprise platforms. Expert in cloud computing architecture, data center design/implementation/planning, and 5G core cloud-native infrastructure solutions.

Led design and deployment of a national-scale, multi-cluster 5G core platform (20+ clusters, 1,000+ servers) with 99.9% uptime and 20% cost reduction. Independently architected an enterprise-grade Grafana-based observability platform integrated with national CNIS environment for real-time infrastructure and CNF metrics visibility—enabling proactive incident prevention and deep operational insights.

Rapid technology adoption: Master Kubernetes, SDN/NFV, cloud-native frameworks and translate them into production systems at scale. Strong track record: architecture design + observability systems + cost optimization + team leadership for mission-critical 5G infrastructure.
