What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can administer Azure and Entra ID, automate operations with PowerShell/Azure CLI, and strengthen governance, monitoring, and cost control—keeping cloud environments safe, reliable, and compliant.

I’m a Cloud Systems Administrator with 3+ years of hands-on experience administering Microsoft Azure infrastructure, Entra ID, and enterprise cloud environments. I act as a subject matter expert for cloud services, focusing on secure, stable operations and clear communication during escalations.

I’ve managed RBAC access across Azure and Entra ID by defining access policies, assigning roles with least-privilege principles, and resolving account and access issues across the organization. I’ve also enforced cloud governance and security baselines using Azure Policy and GPO, reviewed Azure Advisor recommendations, and remediated compliance gaps.

I’m highly automation-driven: I developed and maintained PowerShell and Azure CLI scripts to provision resources and automate routine operations, reducing manual workload by 40%. I built a custom endpoint compliance monitoring and alerting tool from scratch for 100+ endpoints, plus an automated UPS battery threshold monitoring and server shutdown pipeline with full documentation and a runbook for operational handoff.

In monitoring and cost governance, I create dashboards, configure alerting thresholds, investigate budget alerts, and produce utilization reports to support cost optimization and capacity planning. I also maintain strong documentation discipline—runbooks, process guides, and architecture diagrams—to enable cross-team delegation and consistent outcomes.
