   In my role as an Azure Administrator and DevOps Engineer, I’ve architected and managed scalable, secure cloud environments across Microsoft Azure. One of my core strengths lies in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)—where I’ve deployed and maintained production clusters, configured ingress controllers, and integrated workloads with Azure Key Vault via CSI drivers to securely manage secrets without exposing credentials.I\'ve designed and automated robust CI/CD pipelines using Azure Pipelines, streamlining multi-stage deployments with integrated testing, approvals, and Terraform-based infrastructure provisioning. These pipelines often support containerized workloads with Azure Container Registry (ACR) and AKS deployments, enabling rapid and reliable application delivery.In support of event-driven workloads, I’ve developed and deployed serverless Azure Functions, particularly Python-based functions triggered by Blob Storage events or HTTP endpoints. This allowed me to offload background processing, build lightweight automation workflows, and minimize operational overhead by embracing the consumption-based billing model. I also integrated these functions with Azure Monitor and Key Vault using managed identities to ensure secure, observable, and scalable execution.My networking experience includes designing hub-and-spoke topologies, provisioning Virtual Networks, subnets, route tables, Private Endpoints, and Application Gateways with WAF integration for secure web application delivery. I\'ve also worked with Azure Firewall and NSGs to enforce layered security at both the perimeter and subnet levels.On the infrastructure side, I’ve leveraged Terraform extensively for declarative provisioning—writing custom modules to manage AKS clusters, storage accounts, virtual networks, access policies, and DNS configurations. I follow remote state best practices and regularly troubleshoot and enhance Terraform workflows to ensure reliability and maintainability.
