Cloud Consultant (Azure)

Candidate Description

A versatile Cloud Consultant drawing on more than two decades of infrastructure and security experience, they specialise in architecting resilient Microsoft Azure environments for enterprise clients. Having navigated sectors that span utilities, banking, telecommunications and manufacturing, this professional couples deep technical insight with a proven ability to translate complex requirements into scalable, secure and compliant cloud solutions.

Their technical acumen is demonstrated through hands-on delivery of Azure Landing Zones, Microsoft Sentinel SIEM deployments, AKS container platforms, and robust networking constructs incorporating ExpressRoute, VWAN and Azure Firewall. Adept at Terraform-based IaC and Azure DevOps pipelines, they consistently embed CI/CD, governance and monitoring best practices into every engagement. Notable outcomes include boosting security posture via CIS remediation programmes and implementing privileged access workstations across critical CNI environments.

Complementing technical depth with leadership agility, they have guided cross-functional teams at a Technology Company and a Technology Provider, mentored junior engineers and cultivated strong stakeholder relationships across global projects for organisations such as an Energy Company and a Financial Institution. Their blend of strategy, execution and continuous improvement positions them as a valuable asset for organisations seeking to maximise cloud investments while maintaining uncompromising security and operational excellence.
