IT Infrastructure & DevOps Tech Lead
Architecting scalable, secure, and automated cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure & hybrid environments
With over 15 years of progressive experience in IT infrastructure, network engineering, and DevOps leadership, I have successfully driven enterprise-scale projects from conception to delivery across multiple industries and regions.
I excel at translating complex technical challenges into streamlined, scalable solutions — always with a focus on reliability, security, and innovation. My expertise spans multi-cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker), CI/CD pipelines, and Microsoft 365 security administration.
Guided by ITIL principles, I bring hands-on experience in designing Cloudflare security architectures (WAF, TLS, DNS, origin rules) entirely through Terraform modules, managing Kubernetes workloads via Helm, implementing observability stacks with Datadog, Grafana, and SigNoz, and securing enterprise environments with Microsoft Defender XDR, Intune, and Entra ID conditional access policies.
Leading a cross-functional technical team, overseeing cloud infrastructure strategy, service delivery, and DevOps transformation across the group's portfolio. Managing project workflows through Jira (Epics, Sprints, Kanban boards) and Confluence for documentation and knowledge sharing. Defining RTO/RPO targets for disaster recovery planning, measuring ROI on cloud migration initiatives, and establishing SLA frameworks for internal and external service commitments. Driving adoption of IaC practices using Terraform for Cloudflare security modules (WAF, DNS, TLS, origin rules, bulk redirects), managing Kubernetes workloads with Helm-based deployments on AWS (EKS, EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Route53), and implementing Microsoft 365 security policies including Intune device management, Defender for Endpoint, and Entra ID conditional access. Mentoring engineers, conducting capacity planning reviews, and aligning infrastructure roadmaps with business objectives.
As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, I bring extensive expertise in networking, VoIP, cloud solutions, security, firewall management, Linux servers, virtualization, and IT automation. I specialize in designing, implementing, and maintaining secure, high-performance, and scalable IT infrastructures that support business growth and operational efficiency. My experience extends to cloud platforms (Azure, AWS), where I design infrastructure solutions, implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and ensure application scalability and reliability. My skill set includes virtualization technologies, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud-native applications, enabling seamless deployment and orchestration of modern workloads. I have a strong background in firewall and network security management, ensuring IT environments remain resilient against cyber threats. Additionally, I leverage automation tools and scripting to optimize IT operations, reduce manual overhead, and enhance system reliability. With a deep understanding of cybersecurity, cloud computing, and modern infrastructure solutions, I drive strategic IT initiatives that align with business objectives, focusing on innovation, performance optimization, and proactive security.
