I build reliable Azure platforms, automate delivery, and reduce cloud costs at scale.
What I'm looking for
At EPAM Systems, I build and operate AKS-based Azure platforms with 99.99% uptime, using proactive monitoring, autoscaling, and self-healing configurations.
I've automated CI/CD delivery with Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and YAML pipelines, reducing deployment failures by 30%. I also lead Infrastructure as Code work with Terraform, ARM, Bicep, CAF, and Azure Verified Modules, deploying workloads to AKS through Helm.
Across EPAM Systems, Techwave Consulting, OSI Digital, NGA HR, and Wipro Infotech, I've managed cloud infrastructure, networking, security, monitoring, patching, and production support for enterprise environments.
I focus on practical operational outcomes: reducing cloud spend by 30%, strengthening observability with Azure Monitor, Prometheus, and Grafana, and mentoring engineers on Azure DevOps, Terraform, Kubernetes, and SRE practices.
