What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead Azure infrastructure, strengthen identity/security posture, automate provisioning, and drive reliability in a collaborative, compliance-focused team.

I am a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 6+ years designing, securing, and automating Azure environments for regulated enterprise settings. I specialize in Azure networking, hybrid identity, Infrastructure as Code, and cloud security governance, with proven results reducing security risk and accelerating provisioning for business‑critical systems supporting 1,200+ users.

I have led identity and access initiatives, implemented Conditional Access and MFA, stabilized hybrid authentication with Azure AD Connect, and automated infrastructure using Terraform and ARM templates. I deliver measurable reliability, cost savings, and compliance improvements through pragmatic automation, strong change management, and cross‑functional collaboration.
