What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

I am a Cloud Solution Architect and Senior Program Manager with over 15 years of experience in building enterprise-grade, cloud-native products on Microsoft Azure. My deep expertise in PaaS implementation and service-oriented architectures has enabled me to lead cross-functional Agile teams effectively. I am passionate about continuous improvement and delivering measurable business value through innovative solutions.

At Microsoft, I own the technical roadmap for Azure Communication Services SDK and REST APIs, significantly reducing costs and deployment times. My previous role at Softtek involved architecting a major migration for a Fortune 500 client, where I optimized SQL Server instances and created impactful Power BI dashboards. I thrive in environments that challenge my skills and allow me to mentor others, ensuring that best practices are followed and the team grows together.
