CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Azure Cloud Engineer with 5 years of IT experience and nearly 4 years of hands-on expertise designing, implementing, and managing secure, scalable, and high-performance Azure infrastructure. I work across core services like VMs, Storage, Networking, and AAD/Entra ID to deliver reliable cloud solutions.
In my current role at Alstom (Canada), I deploy secure Azure infrastructure using VMs, Storage, VNets, NSGs, VPNs, and AKS, and I lead infrastructure automation with Terraform, ARM Templates, and Azure CLI. I also implement CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps, and I use Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights to establish proactive alerting and troubleshooting.
I’ve supported and migrated workloads to Azure end-to-end, including on-premises workload migration and disaster recovery planning with Site Recovery. Previously, as a Cloud Support Engineer, I troubleshot networking, compute, and storage incidents and automated operations with PowerShell, Azure CLI, and ARM Templates—helping improve deployment times while strengthening security and compliance.
