I’m a Senior Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 10+ years of experience architecting, automating, and managing scalable, secure, highly available cloud infrastructures across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I specialize in CI/CD pipeline engineering, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Kubernetes-based container orchestration, and cloud-native solution design—always with a focus on production stability, security, and regulatory compliance.

In my current role as a Senior Azure Cloud Engineer at Hewlett Packard (HP), I’ve architected and automated Azure infrastructure using Terraform and ARM templates, improving deployment consistency and reducing provisioning time by 40%. I led end-to-end migration of 100+ on-premises applications, VMs, and databases to Azure, and I managed and mentored a 10-member cloud engineering team delivering enterprise cloud onboarding for Fortune 500 clients. I also improved application performance by 20% with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Kudu diagnostics.

Previously at USAA, I engineered Azure infrastructure for mission-critical financial applications with a 99.9% uptime SLA, and I continuously optimized CI/CD using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions to reduce deployment cycle time by 25% for daily production releases. I automated provisioning and configuration management with Terraform and Ansible, reducing manual effort by 60% and eliminating configuration drift. I designed disaster recovery and business continuity strategies that improved RTO/RPO by 35%, and I executed zero-downtime Hyper-V to Azure migrations with Active Directory integration. Across both experiences, I’ve implemented GitOps workflows (Argo CD) reaching a 95% deployment success rate, built observability and alerting frameworks with Datadog and CloudWatch to reduce MTTR and incident response time by 30%, and enforced DevSecOps practices (RBAC, Zero Trust, secrets management) to support SOC 2 readiness.
