10+ years designing, deploying, and securing hybrid and cloud-native infrastructure on Microsoft Azure. I build environments that are resilient, automated, and ready for the AI era, Zero Trust by default, cost-optimized by design.
My IT journey began in 2007 as a network administrator — working in budget-tight environments wearing many hats, securing systems without room for mistakes. That pressure shaped how I think: understand every layer, secure from day one, automate everything repeatable.
Over the years I've focused on Azure infrastructure, identity, governance, and increasingly on AI-powered operations. Most recently I supported Alcoholics Anonymous through cloud transitions in mission-critical environments where uptime and security aren't optional.
Today I help organizations cut through cloud complexity: clean architecture, Zero Trust security, IaC-driven consistency, and practical AI adoption, whether that's Microsoft Copilot, Azure OpenAI, or the agentic AI patterns emerging now.
Technologies and platforms I work with daily across cloud, security, and automation.
Real-world infrastructure projects demonstrating secure, cost-effective Azure solutions.
Designed and deployed a hybrid environment for a mid-sized enterprise, enabling seamless integration of on-prem infrastructure with Microsoft Azure using VPN Gateway and Entra ID Connect. Focused on authentication continuity, scalability, and minimal migration downtime.
Built reusable Terraform modules to automate Azure infrastructure provisioning end-to-end. Implemented autoscaling policies and reserved instance planning to eliminate waste. Reduced monthly cloud spend by 28% while improving deployment consistency and repeatability.
Implemented Conditional Access policies, MFA, and identity-based segmentation across Microsoft 365 and Azure. Hardened infrastructure using Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Sentinel for threat detection and automated incident response workflows.
Building reusable cloud onboarding frameworks for small and mid-sized businesses. Templates covering secure baseline configuration, identity setup, cost governance, and Microsoft 365 integration — designed for fast-paced environments with lean IT teams.
Available for full-time roles, consulting engagements, and freelance cloud projects. If you're looking for a senior Azure engineer who can own infrastructure from design to delivery — I'd love to connect.
