Senior Azure DevOps & cloud infrastructure engineer improving scalable Azure delivery with IaC and CI/CD.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 6+ years designing, building, and maintaining scalable, highly available systems on Microsoft Azure. I specialize in infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD automation, using Azure DevOps, Terraform, Bicep, and Kubernetes (AKS) to deliver containerized applications with confidence. I’m also Microsoft Certified Azure Solutions Architect Expert and a Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA).
In my current role, I collaborate with infrastructure teams to strengthen availability and security across Azure environments, provisioning AKS clusters, load balancers, and VPN gateways with Terraform. I’ve increased deployment frequency and reduced incident resolution time by 30% through proactive monitoring and alerting (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Prometheus/Grafana), while improving production visibility via Azure DevOps pipelines and Datadog crash reporting. I also integrate security tooling like GitHub Advanced Security and Microsoft Defender for Azure DevOps to support SOC 2 compliance, and I’ve supported AI initiatives with Azure AI Foundry.
