I build governed Azure landing zones, automate reliability, and solve complex cloud, identity, networking, and disaster recovery problems.
What I'm looking for
I design and operate enterprise Azure platforms for U.S. customers through Lunavi, delivering Cloud Adoption Framework landing zones, Azure Virtual Desktop, hybrid networking, Microsoft 365 migrations, Microsoft Sentinel, and disaster recovery. Across 25+ engagements, I've taken work from discovery and architecture through production cutover and handover to 24/7 operations.
I build landing zones as code with ALZ-Bicep, apply Azure Policy and least-privilege RBAC at scale, and deliver monitoring, alerting, and security baselines through source-controlled automation. I’m often the escalation point for difficult Azure networking, identity, SQL replication, API Management, firewall, and regional failover issues.
I’ve also led 11 cloud engineers across LATAM and North America, set delivery standards, and mentored teams on Azure landing zones, identity, and migration patterns. My background spans 20+ years of enterprise infrastructure, endpoint management, Exchange, Active Directory, virtualization, backup, and cloud platform engineering.
