Azure-focused systems engineer working across cloud infrastructure, automation, observability, and hybrid environments. I build and support production systems spanning Azure, Kubernetes, Windows, identity, virtualization, storage, backup, and disaster recovery.

My work is primarily infrastructure-focused: understanding how systems interact, troubleshooting across platform boundaries, and automating operational work that should not require an engineer every time.

• Reduced Azure infrastructure spend by approximately 17% through storage optimization, lifecycle management, and governance.
• Integrated an AKS environment into enterprise monitoring in under one business day.
• Implemented and supported monitoring across 5+ large environments with hundreds of devices each.
• Reduced alert-generated operational workload by approximately 25% through monitoring improvements and automation.
• Built and validated SQL Server failover clusters and supported backup and disaster recovery infrastructure.
• Automated operational workflows with PowerShell and Azure Logic Apps.
• Trained analysts on Active Directory, infrastructure troubleshooting, and systems administration.
