Azure AI Agent Architect | Foundry, Copilot Studio & MCP Agents

Most AI agent projects stall between a working demo and something a business can trust in production. I close that gap. I design and ship production AI agents on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365: Azure AI Foundry agents, Microsoft Agent Framework, Copilot Studio, Teams and M365 Copilot integrations, custom MCP servers, and real-time voice agents (LiveKit, OpenAI, Gemini). That includes the unglamorous parts: Entra ID / managed-identity auth, RAG over your own data, approval workflows, monitoring and cost control. What you get: • Agents wired into your real systems (Teams, SharePoint, CRM, ERP, APIs), not a chat window on the side • Secure, enterprise-ready deployment (Bicep/azd, private networking, RBAC) • Clear architecture, honest scoping and fast, direct communication Track record: Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success, 150+ projects, 5,000+ hours, and a CTO-level background in cloud architecture. Send me the workflow you want an agent to own, and I'll reply with how I'd build it, what it will cost and what could go wrong. ### Testimonial 💬 Client Feedback: "Amazing work! Finished before time & under budget." "Developed a high-quality solution with quick understanding." "Great developer, prioritizes client needs. Highly recommended!" ❝ Nirmal is an outstanding freelancer. His knowledge and skills on Power Platform connectors are the best I've seen. He's very easy to talk to and great fun to work with. I don't recommend many people, but I can't praise Nirmal highly enough. If you need a Power Platform connector developed, you should hire him (but leave a little time so he can still help me too!). ❞ - Dr Adrian Colquhoun - Strategik Pty Ltd, Australia ❝ Nirmal is a highly experienced cloud architect and a good problem solver who finds a solution with minimal input. Job well done! ❞ - Nagesh Kadaba - StatusAlert Inc - USA
