What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an Azure-focused Cloud/DevOps role where I can automate infrastructure with Terraform/Ansible, strengthen monitoring and DR, and follow ITIL best practices to deliver secure, reliable deployments with measurable cost and incident reductions.

I’m an Azure Cloud/DevOps engineer with over 7 years of experience assembling and operating cloud infrastructure. In my current role at Wipro, I focus on Azure compute, storage, networking, Entra ID, monitoring, security (including Defender for Cloud), and disaster recovery through ASR DR drills, while applying security best practices across servers, DBs, networks, firewalls, and load balancers.

I strengthen reliability and delivery by automating provisioning with Terraform integrated into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, and by using Ansible playbooks for infrastructure recovery/healing. I also drive observability with Azure Monitor (Log Analytics) and Prometheus/Grafana, collaborate to resolve VM and pipeline/deployment failures in real time, and follow ITIL practices for incidents, problems, changes, and releases—helping optimize configurations to save 30% Azure costs and reduce incident count by 25%.
