What I'm looking for

I seek senior cloud-infrastructure roles where I can lead Azure operations, improve reliability and security, drive automation, and optimize costs while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

I am a Senior Azure Administrator and Technical Lead with 17+ years managing large-scale Windows and Linux enterprise environments, focused on Azure IaaS, automation, security, patch management, and disaster recovery. I consistently deliver high availability—maintaining 99.9% uptime—while optimizing cloud costs and automating operations to meet SLA-driven requirements.

I have led administration of 300+ Azure VMs, implemented Azure Backup (including SAP HANA), RBAC, policies, MFA, and cost-optimization recommendations, and reduced incident response times through Azure Monitor dashboards. I bring hands-on experience with Ansible, Terraform, Git/GitHub, WSUS/SCCM, and cross-platform patch and security management, paired with strong client handling and technical project management skills.
