Azure & AWS Architect | AI SaaS, HIPAA, DevSecOps, M365 | MCT, ex-MVP
I design, build and secure cloud systems on Azure and AWS: AI-powered SaaS, DevOps pipelines, full-stack .NET applications and Microsoft 365 migrations. Including the kind that handle regulated data, where a mistake isn't a bug, it's a breach notification. Former Microsoft MVP · Microsoft Certified Trainer · Azure Solutions Architect Expert · DevOps Engineer Expert · Top Rated Plus · 10+ years in software engineering RECENT WORK Technical lead on a HIPAA-oriented telehealth SaaS: AI-generated clinical notes from session transcripts, Microsoft Teams integration through Graph API, Stripe billing, and data residency enforced between Canadian and US regions. WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU • Cloud architecture (Azure and AWS). Identity and access, networking, managed identities, Key Vault, monitoring and cost control, defined in Terraform so every environment is repeatable. • DevSecOps and CI/CD. Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions pipelines with automated security gates that block unauthenticated routes, cross-tenant access bugs, leaked secrets and vulnerable dependencies before they merge. Releases depend on checks, not on someone remembering. • Compliance-grade applications. HIPAA, PHIPA and PIPEDA controls built in from the start: audit trails, retention policies, PII scrubbing, and data residency enforced in code so it cannot silently fail. • AI features that are safe to ship. Microsoft Foundry and Azure OpenAI with any model in the catalogue, agents and transcription pipelines, with sensitive data anonymised before it reaches a model. • Microsoft 365 migrations and tenant consolidation. Tenant-to-tenant moves after mergers, Entra ID, Exchange, Teams and SharePoint, planned so users keep working and nothing gets lost. Plus Power Automate, SharePoint and Graph API automation. • Full-stack .NET development. C#, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, React and Angular, from new SaaS products to modernising older .NET applications. • Training and mentoring. As a Microsoft Certified Trainer I teach AZ-104, AZ-204, AZ-400 and AI-200, run cohort programmes, and mentor engineers and teams one-to-one. HOW I WORK I verify claims rather than assume them. When I tell you something is fixed, I'll tell you how I confirmed it, and if I couldn't confirm it I'll say that too. Most production incidents I've dealt with came from something that looked correct and was never actually checked. Stack: C#, .NET, ASP.NET Core/MVC, Blazor, TypeScript, Node.js, React, Angular, SQL Server, Cosmos DB, Azure, AWS, Microsoft Foundry, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes/AKS, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Power Automate, SharePoint, Graph API, PowerShell. If you're building something where security and compliance aren't optional, planning a cloud or M365 migration, or need a senior engineer who can own the whole stack, send me a message. You can also book a consultation and I'll review your setup and give you a prioritised list of what to fix first.
