What I'm looking for

I seek a senior cloud architecture role designing secure Azure/AWS platforms, leading cloud migrations, ensuring compliance, and mentoring teams in enterprise modernization.

I am a cloud-focused solutions architect with over two decades of hands-on experience designing and implementing secure, scalable Azure and AWS architectures. I have led cloud modernization efforts, authored implementation requests, and guided cross-functional teams through landing zone setup and compliance-driven deployments.

At the IRS (as a subcontracted technical lead) and during my tenure at Ernst & Young, I translated business and regulatory requirements into technical designs, created architecture diagrams and solution blueprints, and implemented identity, networking, and data solutions across hybrid and cloud environments. I have administered large-scale Active Directory infrastructures and driven high-availability and disaster-recovery initiatives.

I hold multiple cloud certifications (AZ-305, AZ-900, CLF-C01, 70-533) and combine architecture expertise with practical skills in IaC, DevOps, networking, and security. I seek roles where I can design compliant cloud platforms, mentor teams, and deliver measurable modernization outcomes.
