Experience
I've spent more than 15 years designing, building, and guiding cloud platforms for large international organizations and global enterprises. Most of my work sits at the intersection of architecture, DevOps, data, and secure cloud operations — helping teams modernize, scale, and run reliably in cloud environments.
I've led projects ranging from cloud landing zones and FinOps programs to large-scale migrations, secure AEC platforms, and automation frameworks for engineering and construction teams. My work spans regulated environments, enterprise data structures, global infrastructure footprints, and mission-critical workloads.
Highlights of my experience include:
- Designing and deploying multi-environment Azure Landing Zones with enterprise networking, private AKS clusters, Application Gateways, Azure Firewall, Key Vault, Log Analytics, and full private-endpoint architecture.
- Leading cloud transformation programs that modernize legacy hosting environments and introduce automation, governance, and cost-controlled scaling.
- Implementing secure architectures for engineering and construction workflows, including ACC integrations, AEC data pipelines, and private infrastructure for cross-company collaboration.
- Developing FinOps practices for global platforms, optimizing spend, forecasting usage, and improving visibility across thousands of cloud resources.
- Guiding teams on infrastructure migrations, including moving thousands of resources and redesigning environments for resilience, separation of duties, and operational simplicity.
- Building automation frameworks using Azure DevOps, Terraform, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code to standardize deployments and reduce operational friction.
- Supporting international teams with scalable architecture decisions, secure network patterns, and high-availability designs tailored for distributed operations.
My work is hands-on, architecture-driven, and focused on delivering systems that run well — not just systems that look good on paper. I stay close to the engineering details while keeping the bigger picture clear for leadership teams and stakeholders.
If you're building, scaling, or restructuring your cloud platform, I can help you get there with clarity, stability, and a solid technical foundation.
