- Manage Azure infrastructure fundamentals including subscriptions, tenants, VNets, VWAN, Network Security Groups, and firewalls to establish secure, scalable, and compliant cloud foundations.
- Drive cloud cost optimization through FinOps practices-leveraging Azure Cost Management and AWS Cost Explorer to right-size resources, implement governance frameworks, and eliminate waste across the enterprise.
- Enforce security and compliance standards across cloud environments in partnership with the CISO, implementing IAM controls, network segmentation, encryption, and zero-trust architecture aligned with SOC 2, FedRAMP, and CMMC requirements.
- Serve as MBI's primary technical liaison with Microsoft Azure and AWS-managing vendor partnerships, coordinating architecture reviews, and aligning the cloud roadmap with provider capabilities and strategic initiatives.
- Write automation scripts and tools in Python, Bash, or PowerShell to streamline infrastructure deployment, system integration, and DevOps workflows.
