Aashish Anand Cullopulli

I’m a results-driven Azure Cloud Engineer with 3+ years of experience designing, deploying, and supporting scalable production environments on Microsoft Azure. I combine cloud architecture with DevOps and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to improve reliability, security, and operational efficiency.

In my current role, I architected end-to-end Azure cloud solutions for enterprise clients using Azure IaaS (Virtual Machines), PaaS (App Services, Azure SQL), and SaaS (Office 365). I led large-scale on-premises to Azure migrations, using Azure Migrate and Site Recovery, while reducing operational costs and improving continuity.

I’m especially proud of the automation work: I pioneered provisioning with ARM Templates and Azure DevOps, reducing deployment time by 40% and eliminating 99% of manual configuration errors across environments. I also optimized CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and GitLab CI to accelerate delivery cycles.

My approach is proactive and security-first—I implement monitoring and incident readiness using Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights, and Splunk (plus Sentinel and security tooling). I support high availability and disaster recovery with Azure Availability Zones, Load Balancer/Traffic Manager, and Azure Site Recovery/Backup, while continuously optimizing costs through Cost Management and scaling strategies.
