Rafael Ferreira

I bring over a decade of technology experience, 20 technical certifications, and a Computer Science degree, and I’m currently a Microsoft MVP and MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer). I’ve built my career in multinational environments, where I focus on turning cloud strategy into reliable, governed, outcomes-driven platforms.

As a Senior Azure Platform Engineer, I help evolve a secure, scalable, automated, multi-tenant Azure platform. I’ve worked on the design and evolution of an Azure environment with more than 15 AKS clusters, enabling multiple engineering teams to provision, deploy, and operate about 8,000 cloud workloads with autonomy, standardization, and governance.

I strengthen delivery through Infrastructure as Code and modern pipelines—using Terraform/IaC standards, GitHub Actions, and GitOps practices with ArgoCD and Helm. On the governance side, I implement Azure Landing Zones and policy as code with standards, compliance controls, and multi-subscription guardrails, alongside DevSecOps and observability for proactive operations.

Across prior roles, I’ve led cloud migrations and platform restructuring for enterprise scale—balancing performance and costs with FinOps, automating operations with PowerShell and Azure CLI, and delivering end-to-end observability using Prometheus, Grafana, and related tooling. I also enjoy giving back by organizing Azure and Cloud Native communities and mentoring people through career initiatives.
