What I'm looking for

I seek a senior IT/cloud role where I can lead hybrid cloud adoption, strengthen security posture, optimise costs, and mentor teams in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization.

I am a seasoned IT Infrastructure & Cloud Manager with 17+ years delivering enterprise IT operations, cloud transformation, and cybersecurity across manufacturing and IT services. I align IT strategy with business priorities through hybrid cloud adoption, governance, and cost optimisation.

I have hands-on expertise in Azure, Entra ID (Azure AD), Microsoft 365 Security, VMware, disaster recovery, SIEM/SOC practices, and endpoint protection. I led migrations, modernised infrastructure, and implemented Zero Trust and IAM controls that produced measurable uptime and cost improvements.

My leadership experience includes managing multi-site operations, vendor negotiations, and delivering projects within ₹1.5 Cr+ budgets while improving SLAs, reducing downtime, and earning CSAT and Kaizen recognition.
