About Sharad Saxena
I design and build cloud infrastructure that doesn\'t just run — it scales, self-heals, and thinks. With 9 years of hands-on experience across Azure, Kubernetes, and DevOps, I\'ve architected enterprise-grade solutions at Accenture and Cognizant, serving clients in healthcare, Defense, and finance. What I\'ve actually built: migrated global VM fleets to Azure for multiple business units, designed and maintained AKS clusters at production scale, built 100+ PowerShell automation scripts cutting operational toil by 80%, created CI/CD pipelines deploying to Kubernetes with zero-downtime strategies, and integrated Azure OpenAI with Terraform to deliver AI-powered infrastructure intelligence. Where I\'m heading: I\'m spending 2026 becoming a DevOps + ML Architect — studying deep learning, MLOps, and cloud ML platforms (Azure ML, Vertex AI) alongside earning CKAD, AZ-400, and Google ML Engineer certifications. My goal is to join a product company or Microsoft GCID in the UK or APAC building the next generation of intelligent, self-managing infrastructure. Certifications: CKA · AZ-104 · AZ-900 · CKAD (in progress) · AZ-400 (in progress) Open to: Full-time roles in UK · Singapore · Australia · Japan · Remote
