Masood – 5+ Years – Azure Cloud Engineer Consultant

Introduction

I'm a certified Azure Cloud Engineer Consultant with 5+ years of experience in IT services.
I like to work in the Cloud Infrastructure environment involving designing and operations tasks.

I’m responsible for managing and optimizing cloud infrastructure on the Microsoft Azure platform.
With a strong background in cloud computing and a deep understanding of Azure services, I have
successfully designed, implemented, and maintained scalable and secure environments for diverse
organizations.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated expertise in provisioning and managing virtual
machines, storage solutions, databases, and other Azure services to meet the unique needs of
businesses. I am skilled in ensuring high availability, performance, and security by implementing
best practices and monitoring resources to proactively identify and resolve issues. In my previous
organizations I have handled projects independently and migrated applications, infrastructure from
one environment to another on Azure Cloud. I have excellent communication, client relationship
and problem-solving skills.

In my leisure time, I spend time exploring new places, riding bikes, and playing cricket. My
colleagues think of me as an easy going and flexible team member who is dedicated and likes to
deliver his work within the stipulated time for achieving client's goals and objectives
