About Me

Hi, I’m Arun Daniel — a Principal Consulting Engineer, builder, problem-solver, and lifelong learner with a passion for creating secure, scalable, and resilient cloud platforms on AWS.

For more than a decade, I’ve helped enterprises modernize and simplify complex environments by blending deep technical knowledge with a hands-on, solutions-driven approach. I specialize in multi-account AWS architecture, Terraform-driven automation, serverless design, enterprise networking, identity management, FinOps, and large-scale migrations—whether that means moving data centers to the cloud, redesigning networks for zero-trust, or building automated pipelines that eliminate manual toil.

Outside of work, you’ll find me hiking, laughing with my family, learning new tech, experimenting with AI, or building personal side projects ranging from dashboards to trading bots.

My Philosophy

I’m driven by clarity, simplicity, and outcomes. I like taking messy, high-pressure situations and turning them into stable, well-architected systems. I’ve built platforms for global brands, optimized millions in cloud spend, created dashboards and automation used across organizations, and led complex projects across security, networking, VDI, Kubernetes, and serverless.

Beyond the technical work, I care deeply about mentorship, collaboration, and empowering teams. I believe engineers perform best when they have the tools, trust, and knowledge to succeed—so I share what I build, document everything, and help others grow.

If you’re looking to build something better—faster, stronger, more secure—I’m always up for the conversation.
