Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
At IFS R&D International, I work on the IFS website and cloud environments, including Azure App Services, APIs, and infrastructure-as-code with ARM Templates and Bicep.
For IFS, I used Akamai web security to fingerprint-block and control 2 billion access requests. I also contribute to incident response, security assessments, and secure API architecture using Azure API Management and Microsoft Entra ID.
My work includes migrating legacy systems to Azure and supporting sites such as the IFS Blog and customer portal. I’ve also worked on customer-tailored FTPS and SFTP solutions.
Earlier, I developed cloud environments at EFutures and participated in core banking and ATM troubleshooting at Bartleet IT. I’m seeking a role that fosters continuous learning, encourages research, and lets me apply my experience to elevate my skills.
