Azure Cloud Engineer delivering DevOps and SRE automation on Azure.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Azure Cloud Engineer with nearly 3 years of experience across cloud computing, DevOps, and Site Reliability Engineering. I specialize in Azure infrastructure automation, continuous integration, and continuous deployment to help teams ship reliably and faster.
I design and implement scalable Azure solutions using Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Storage, and Azure App Services. I build Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, ARM Templates, and Azure Bicep to keep deployments consistent and efficient.
I’m hands-on with CI/CD pipeline development using Azure DevOps and Jenkins (plus GitHub Actions), automating build, test, and deployment processes to streamline release cycles. I also strengthen hybrid connectivity and security through Azure VPN/ExpressRoute, load balancing, NSGs, and Azure security controls.
Operational excellence is at the core of how I work: I monitor and troubleshoot with Azure Monitor, Azure Log Analytics, Application Insights, and Azure Sentinel, and I support high availability using Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery. I also optimize cloud cost with Azure Cost Management and build automation using Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and Azure Automation.
