## About

```text
At OryxAlign, I translate enterprise clients’ business requirements into cloud architectures and phased adoption roadmaps across Azure, AWS, and third-party platforms. I develop POC architectures, ROI and TCO models, and proposals to support investment decisions.

For a retail client’s multi-cloud migration, I led solution architecture and business case development for a hybrid Azure and AWS environment. The approved solution delivered 99.99% availability and full business continuity.

Earlier at Acculix Digital, I designed cloud adoption architectures and built POCs, then worked with engineering and delivery teams to validate solutions through deployment and transition to operations. My experience also includes cloud infrastructure security, disaster recovery, and IT systems management, backed by Azure, AWS, and Cisco certifications.
