Senior Azure-focused software engineer building secure, automated, cost-optimized cloud platforms on Microsoft Azure.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience designing, deploying, and operating secure cloud platforms across Microsoft Azure and cloud-native Kubernetes environments. I specialize in scalable Azure architecture, landing zones, identity governance, networking, observability, disaster recovery, and production operations.
I’ve architected Azure landing zones across networking, identity, governance, and security controls, and I harden access using Microsoft Entra ID, RBAC, conditional access, managed identities, and Azure Policy. I build resilient infrastructure with Terraform and Bicep, and I deliver visibility with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights—reducing incident detection time through actionable alerting.
I also focus heavily on reliability and cost efficiency through automation, CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions), Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Sentinel integrations, and rigorous backup/geo-replication with failover runbooks and validation drills. I mentor engineers through architecture reviews and Azure design patterns to improve delivery consistency and operational excellence.
