What I'm looking for

I seek senior/cloud security roles where I can lead Zero Trust transformations, mentor teams, drive secure cloud adoption, and deliver scalable, cost‑optimized architectures in collaborative, growth‑focused environments.

I am a Hybrid Cloud Architect and Technical Manager with 10+ years designing, leading, and delivering secure, scalable, and cost‑optimized cloud solutions across Microsoft Azure, AWS, and hybrid environments. I specialize in cloud transformation, enterprise architecture and modernization, and tenant-to-tenant and data center migrations.

I build security-first architectures and frameworks—implementing Zero Trust, CIS, and NIST controls—integrating Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, and cloud-native SIEM/XDR solutions while enabling DevSecOps through IaC (Terraform/ARM), automation and container orchestration (Kubernetes/AKS/EKS).

I lead cross-functional teams, mentor engineers, and create repeatable assets and governance models that improve compliance, performance, and cost optimization; notable achievements include a large UK data center to Azure migration and a bespoke Zero Trust maturity assessment model adopted across engagements.
