United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am a Cloud and Infrastructure Architect with six years of hands-on Azure delivery and strategic IT ownership across regulated FinTech and HealthTech environments, currently operating as the de-facto Head of IT reporting to the CTO.
I have designed and delivered enterprise-grade Azure solutions including ADLS Gen2 data lakes, Azure SQL Elastic Pool migrations, Application Gateway + WAF, Terraform-based IaC adoption, Microsoft Sentinel SOC transformation, and BC/DR capabilities while maintaining ISO 27001:2022 certification with zero non-conformities.
