About Sam Cady

IT Infrastructure brownfield recovery and Site Reliability and Service engineer with over 10 years of experience in designing and deploying comprehensive Azure cloud and data solutions. Clients have entrusted me to recover and modernize large scale distributed enterprise engineering solutions that deliver enhanced data governance, security, and operational efficiency. I have deep domain expertise in Azure infrastructure and architecture within the realms of IT Enterprise Consulting, FinTech, and Healthcare. I have a passion for kaizen methodology and the practice of improvement through small habits and changes. Which mirror the long term skills that need to be utilized by teams as well as applying ITIL practices for incident and problem management to move out of firefighting mode and stablize the service. By working in managed services and consulting I have contributed to business transformation initiatives by leveraging my skills in GenAI use, Azure engineering, DevOps Methodology such as IAC using ARM/Bicep and Terraform, Power Platform/MS Fabric, Salesforce, SAP, and MS SQL. I love planning, building, tuning, and managing infrastructure and hosted IT services, and I strive to drive value with relevance for my clients and stakeholders.
