Andrew Sutcliffe

I am a senior infrastructure and cloud engineer with 7+ years of systems engineering experience across Azure, on-prem Windows/Linux/VMware, and security-focused environments. I specialize in infrastructure architecture, identity & access management, and governance, delivering secure, scalable solutions aligned with regulatory expectations.

I've led Azure governance and access initiatives, implemented Microsoft Defender for Cloud at enterprise scale, and automated privileged account controls and subscription provisioning. I serve as a technical lead and mentor, guiding multi-team projects, performing incident response, and ensuring high availability and compliance.

I bring hands-on automation skills with Azure DevOps, Bicep, and PowerShell, practical networking and DR knowledge, and direct experience working with audit and compliance stakeholders in regulated financial environments.
