@yamunasunkara
I design secure, resilient Azure infrastructure that improves performance, governance, and cloud cost efficiency.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've led Azure cloud migrations and infrastructure delivery at Inland Behavioral and Health Services, including a multi-terabyte migration to Azure Blob Storage that reduced ongoing infrastructure spending by 25% through lifecycle and archive-tier policies. I also built Azure Monitor-driven network monitoring and private VNet isolation while coordinating delivery with C-suite stakeholders.
Previously, I designed high-availability Azure environments at Meijer and secure multi-tier networking at Bajaj Finserv, supporting over 500,000 concurrent profiles at 99.95% uptime. My work spans Azure identity governance, private networking, traffic routing, disaster recovery, cost management, and enterprise architecture blueprints.
