I build secure Azure platforms that modernize regulated enterprise workloads.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At ETA STAR, I've architected enterprise Azure platforms for Banking, Insurance, Financial Services, and Healthcare clients, including landing zones supporting 20+ workloads.
I've migrated 30+ enterprise applications and 10+ mainframe workloads to Azure, helping reduce operating costs by 20–30%. I also modernized Oracle workloads through Azure Database-as-a-Service, reducing costs by approximately 25%.
I built a Common Cloud Platform serving 30+ application teams with self-service, standardized infrastructure. Using Terraform, Bicep, Azure Policy, and OPA/Rego, I reduced environment provisioning time by about 60% and removed manual, non-compliant deployments.
I've led Azure migration and architecture engagements for AT&T and NextGen, spanning PaaS, IaaS, SaaS, microservices, connectivity, security, and multi-tenant platforms. I bring a practical focus on FinOps, DevSecOps, zero-trust controls, and resilient cloud modernization.
