🚀 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐬 | Multi-Cloud Architect & Senior IT Engineer | $100K+ Delivered on Upwork With 10+ years of hands-on experience across Microsoft Azure, AWS, GCP, Microsoft 365, and cybersecurity, I help businesses modernise their IT infrastructure, secure their cloud environments, and maintain compliance. My clients trust me to design resilient systems, lead complex migrations, and deliver enterprise-grade outcomes with clear communication and full accountability. I hold Microsoft's highest-level certifications including Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305) and Cybersecurity Architect Expert (SC-100), alongside AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate, AZ-500, AZ-104, and CCNA. This rare combination of multi-cloud depth and security expertise means I can own both the architecture and the security posture of your environment. 🌍 𝐌𝐲 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 I began as a systems administrator and evolved into a multi-cloud architect supporting clients across finance, healthcare, SaaS, legal, and retail. I have led migrations of 22 servers from Hyper-V to AWS across 15 accounts, built production Python automation frameworks managing AWS infrastructure at scale, deployed full hybrid Azure/M365 environments from scratch, and designed security postures that align with SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001.
