About Me
Arun Paul
Senior Solutions & Software Architect with 17+ years translating complex enterprise business requirements into cloud-native platforms, AI-powered SaaS solutions, and production-grade distributed systems. Currently at Ariqt, an IT services and consulting firm, leading end-to-end solution design for international enterprise clients.
Professional Profile
I design and deliver enterprise technology solutions for international clients at Ariqt — an IT services and consulting firm. My work spans the full solution lifecycle: from requirements discovery and technology evaluation through to architecture proposals, hands-on implementation, and engineering governance across simultaneous client engagements.
Key accomplishments include designing a zero-downtime cloud consolidation strategy that migrated 300,000+ Azure SQL databases from per-customer single-tenant to shared multi-tenant architecture, building AI-powered financial forecasting platforms using Microsoft Foundry, Semantic Kernel, and RAG pipelines, and designing production-grade Kubernetes clusters on Azure AKS with KEDA event-driven autoscaling.
I'm equally comfortable presenting architecture proposals to executive stakeholders as I am leading engineering teams through complex cloud modernisation programmes — and I thrive at the intersection of business strategy and hands-on technical delivery. Versatile across .NET (ASP.NET Core, C#) and JVM (Java, Spring Boot) ecosystems.
