Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
I am an experienced Azure Cloud Engineer with 4 years of hands-on experience supporting and managing cloud and hybrid infrastructure environments across Microsoft Azure, VMware, and enterprise Windows platforms. Over the years, I have developed strong expertise in Azure IaaS administration, including virtual machine management, storage and disk operations, Azure networking with VNets, NSGs, and Load Balancers, and identity and access management using Azure Active Directory and RBAC. I have worked extensively with Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery, helping ensure data protection, disaster recovery readiness, and business continuity for critical workloads. I have a solid background in Windows Server administration including Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, IIS, and Group Policy, along with implementing secure SFTP integrations using key-based authentication. My day-to-day work involves monitoring infrastructure health using Zabbix, troubleshooting complex issues, and maintaining stable and reliable environments. From a broader solutions and security perspective, I contribute to secure and well-architected Azure environments, applying best practices aligned with the Azure Well-Architected Framework. I also have hands-on experience with cloud security controls, network segmentation, encryption, and enterprise security tools such as CrowdStrike, Tenable, and Thycotic Secret Server. I am continuously strengthening my skills in Azure Solution Architecture and Infrastructure as Code, with practical exposure to Terraform and experience working within ITIL-based enterprise operations. I value continuous learning, technical ownership, and building reliable, secure, and scalable Azure platforms that support business-critical systems.
