IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Cloud Solution Architect with 14+ years of experience delivering enterprise infrastructure across data centers, private/public cloud platforms, and end-user computing. I specialize in architecture, provisioning, configuration, migration, management, and troubleshooting—using Azure and AWS with strong focus on security, reliability, and continuous improvement.

I bring deep hands-on strengths in Active Directory, Exchange, DNS, Group Policy, and advanced networking, plus automation with Terraform and Ansible, and I’ve been recognized with Bravo Awards (2023), Standing Ovation Award (2024), and Tech Mahindra PAT On The Back Award (2025).
