What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my expertise in cloud security and allows for professional growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a Senior Cloud Security Architect with extensive experience in Azure Cloud architecture and cloud security governance. My expertise lies in demand forecasting, cloud security concerns, and endpoint security, which I have honed through years of hands-on experience in various roles. I have successfully managed projects involving Azure AD PIM management, Microsoft Intune, and the implementation of security tools like Microsoft Defender and Zscaler.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to lead teams and manage complex technical projects. I have a proven track record of conducting comprehensive evaluations of administrative structures, implementing multi-factor authentication, and ensuring compliance with industry standards such as ISO27001 and NIST Cybersecurity Framework. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to create remediation plans and refine operational processes, ensuring that security and certification improvements are consistently achieved.
