NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am a certified cloud and security engineer with over five years of hands-on experience designing, implementing, and managing Azure-based infrastructures. I focus on embedding security into operational workflows and improving scalability, threat detection, and incident response.
In my current role as a senior technical advisor I manage Azure security services such as Conditional Access, Defender for Cloud, and Entra ID Protection, lead incident response, perform root cause analysis, and coordinate remediation while maintaining detailed documentation and supporting business continuity planning.
I have automated infrastructure provisioning with Terraform, ARM templates, PowerShell and CLI, implemented backup and disaster recovery solutions, and mentored junior engineers—consistently driving improvements in security hardening, compliance, and operational efficiency.
