EB-1A case study: Cloud & Platform Engineering and Infrastructure Automation approval story

The Challenge

  • The applicant’s strongest work was delivered inside enterprise infrastructure environments, limiting external/public attribution.
  • Contributions were often embedded in platform reliability + automation outcomes, making them harder to quantify without clear framing.
  • Impact was distributed across multiple systems and initiatives, requiring consolidation into one cohesive EB-1A narrative.
  • Technical achievements needed to be translated into clear business outcomes for a non-technical adjudicator.
  • The case required strong positioning around original contributions + sustained impact to meet EB1A standards.

Key Contributions & National Relevance

  • Reliability Engineering (Uptime + Resilience)
  • Strengthens platform resilience through proactive reliability improvements, ensuring high availability for business-critical systems and minimizing downtime impact across users and operations.
