Professional summary

I am a Senior IT Infrastructure and Azure Infrastructure Engineer with more than 15 years of experience delivering enterprise infrastructure and managed services across government, finance, healthcare, and commercial environments.

I specialize in Azure hybrid cloud infrastructure, including networking, compute, identity, private connectivity, security, monitoring, backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity. I have supported clients across EMEA, APAC, and North America.

I design and automate secure Azure environments using Terraform, GitHub Actions, Ansible, Python, and YAML-based workflows. My hands-on work includes Azure VMs, VM scale sets, VNets, NSGs, load balancers, Key Vault, private endpoints, private DNS, managed identities, and RBAC.

I have extensive Linux and Windows infrastructure operations experience, particularly with RHEL, Ubuntu, Windows Server, backup operations, storage, incident response, and service restoration. I have supported over 100 mission-critical servers in Tier-3 managed services environments.

My background also includes DevSecOps practices such as infrastructure validation, secret scanning, server hardening, access control, monitoring, and automated deployment pipelines. I focus on building secure, repeatable, and operationally supportable cloud platforms.
