SHRIYA KHAPEKAR

I’m an Azure-focused Cloud Engineer with 5+ years of experience architecting, managing, and optimizing Azure cloud infrastructure in enterprise environments. I specialize in VM lifecycle management, identity and access management, networking, security hardening, governance, and infrastructure automation.

In my current role at Capgemini, I lead L2 incident resolution for Azure infrastructure—handling VM boot/login failures, disk capacity issues, backup failures, and network/NSG misconfigurations while consistently meeting SLA targets. I manage end-to-end VM lifecycle operations including SKU upgrades, OS disk expansion, OS patching, snapshot creation, and point-in-time recovery.

I strengthen cloud security posture by resolving Microsoft Defender for Cloud alerts, tightening NSG rules, and remediating security policy violations. I also enforce governance through tagging compliance with Azure Policy and optimize cloud costs via right-sizing and decommissioning.

I build reusable PowerShell automation to reduce operational overhead—eliminating 410+ hours of annual manual work—while improving team efficiency. I’ve also supported Azure migration projects and coordinated multi-team delivery for AVS LDAP integration across multiple Azure regions, alongside hands-on work in Windows Server, Active Directory, and VMware vSphere operations.
