What I'm looking for

I am seeking a technical role focused on Azure cloud infrastructure and DevOps automation, where I can lead IaC, optimize costs, and improve CI/CD reliability within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a Cloud & DevOps engineer with 4+ years of experience delivering Azure infrastructure, automation, and cost-optimization solutions. At Wipro I managed Azure Virtual Machines, PaaS services, Key Vaults, Application Gateway, RBAC, and multi-tenant deployments while maintaining Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines.

I build scalable IaaS/PaaS environments using Terraform modules, ARM templates, Docker and Kubernetes, and I improved deployment efficiency by updating YAML pipelines and implementing automated resource provisioning. I also used Azure Monitor, Log Analytics and KQL for checks, alerts, and issue analysis.

My accomplishments include a recognized Trailblazer award and a CVSS cost-saving initiative that identified unused Azure resources and reduced annual costs by about $86,000. I hold Azure certifications including Azure Fundamentals and Azure Administrator Associate.
