• Azure-Centric Design: Architect and deliver enterprise-grade Azure solutions leveraging PaaS, IaaS, and serverless capabilities.
• Selective Multi-Cloud: Where applicable, incorporate AWS capabilities for niche use cases; focus remains on Azure and OCI.
• Identity & Access Management: Architect Single Sign-On solutions such as integrating with Microsoft Entra ID and OCI IAM domains; implement RBAC and secure policy frameworks.
• Enterprise-Scale Platforms: Deliver architectures using Azure API Management, Application Gateway, Load Balancers, microservices, Docker, Kubernetes, and event streaming (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Infrastructure as Code: Automate provisioning and configuration with Terraform, Azure Resource Manager (ARM), and selectively AWS CloudFormation.
• CI/CD & DevOps: Implement DevOps pipelines in Azure DevOps and GitHub, enabling rapid and secure deployments.
• Cloud Security & Compliance: Apply best practices for encryption, secure APIs, identity governance, and regulatory frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA).
• Resilience & Continuity: Define disaster recovery and business continuity strategies within Azure and OCI.
• Thought Leadership: Lead architecture reviews, deliver proofs of concept, create system diagrams, and mentor cross-functional teams.
• AI/ML Enablement: Architect platforms that support Azure OpenAI, OCI GenAI, vector databases, SQL agents, and distributed model training with GPUs.
• Bonus: OCI Integration: Design and integrate Oracle Cloud solutions including Fusion App integrations, OCI PaaS, and secure VBCS architectures.
