What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead Azure and hybrid multi-cloud architecture—driving secure modernization, migration strategy, and cost-optimized designs. I want roles where I can support RFP/RFI solutions and act as a trusted cloud advisor.

I’m a Cloud Solutions Architect with a BSc in IT (2021) and hands-on expertise across Microsoft Azure and Huawei Cloud. I translate business goals into secure, scalable cloud architectures built for modernization and cost control.

At Altron Digital Business (Nov 2024–present), I lead architecture discovery workshops to define cloud strategy, migration approach, and platform architecture. I design Azure and hybrid cloud architectures across networking, identity, governance, and security controls, and I develop reference architectures, cost models, and migration strategies for enterprise workloads.

Previously at Tier One Cloud Services (Jun 2024–Nov 2024), I contributed to Azure infrastructure architecture and deployments across compute, networking, and storage. I also managed and optimized production cloud environments for performance, cost optimization, and reliability, while supporting pre-sales engagements and maintaining service documentation through code reviews.

Earlier, as a Microsoft Azure Specialist and Azure Pre-sales Intern at First Distribution Pty (Ltd) (Sep 2022–May 2024; Apr 2022–Aug 2022), I supported end-client requirements, delivered Azure architecture and PaaS solutions (App Service, AKS, Functions, Service Bus), and built/priced solutions from RFQs. I’m trusted for RFP/RFI technical leadership and customer advisory—bringing strong business acumen and soft skills like public speaking, adaptability, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking.
