Lead Cloud / DevOps Engineer

I lead infrastructure enablement for a large-scale AWS-to-Azure migration for LSEG enterprise analytics applications. I design secure Azure architecture and reusable Terraform modules for compute, networking, and security in line with enterprise governance.

I architect GitLab CI/CD pipelines for dual-cloud deployment, implement HashiCorp Vault-based secret management, and configure Private Endpoints, Hub-and-Spoke networking, Azure Firewall, and Azure Policy. I also provide technical leadership through code reviews, mentoring, standards, and AI-assisted infrastructure workflows.

I led migration of a legacy on-premises Java platform to a secure, highly available Azure production architecture. The solution included isolated development, staging, and production environments, private networking, firewall controls, App Services, custom domains, backup, and recovery.

I provisioned the full platform using Terraform and built GitLab CI/CD pipelines for Gradle-based Java applications. I also migrated PostgreSQL databases with cross-region replication and automated failover, using Bash-based workflows for data migration and initialization.

I deployed and configured MateCat in a local Linux environment for an AI-powered text translation platform. I supported the on-premises infrastructure required for the application.

I containerized MateCat with Docker, integrated it with the application delivery process, and managed work through GitLab. I used Cursor to support AI-assisted development workflows.

I designed a greenfield Azure infrastructure platform for a construction machinery marketplace, owning solution planning, sprint planning, and infrastructure roadmap delivery. I built the environment with Terraform, including network topology, secure networking, and server provisioning.

I implemented end-to-end CI/CD pipelines and provisioned Azure Data Factory, SQL Managed Instance, and Front Door. I also configured Elasticsearch monitoring and used MCP connectors and Cursor AI agents to accelerate infrastructure automation.

I supported more than 200 concurrent projects by applying SRE practices, incident troubleshooting, automation, and cloud infrastructure standardization. I provisioned repeatable multi-environment Azure infrastructure with Terraform and reusable Terraform modules.

I configured secure networking, including Azure Firewall, VPN gateways, VWAN hubs, VNet peering, NAT gateways, and S2S tunnels. I also improved observability, managed AKS monitoring with Helm, supported migrations, and applied Azure Cloud Adoption Framework Landing Zone practices.

I created and configured Microsoft Azure infrastructure for a microservices implementation project. I developed Bicep templates for resource deployment and automated operational processes using Shell, PowerShell, and CLI scripts.

I configured Docker containers and OpenAPI in Azure API Management to improve API management, documentation, scalability, and reliability.

I served as an infrastructure engineer and DevOps Team Lead for a European Union government project. I set up and maintained multiple Microsoft Azure environments and supported deployment of more than 16 specialized applications.

I created CI/CD pipelines and delivered scripting, ARM and Bicep templates, App Service configuration, Azure Service Bus integration, and Application Insights setup for robust government solutions.

I maintained and enhanced existing Azure infrastructure for a Sitecore service. My work included improving PowerShell scripts, YAML configurations, and ARM templates.

I improved GitLab build and release pipelines, managed Apache Solr, and maintained Azure SQL Server backups and database restoration processes.

Completed the Programming Basics in 6 Weeks certificate program, gaining theoretical knowledge and practical programming skills.

Professional Bachelor Degree in Entrepreneurship and Management with Economist qualification.
