Service Overview:
I help high-growth scale-ups and enterprises build, secure, and optimize their global Azure footprints. With a deep background in MLOps, Kubernetes (AKS), and Big Data, I don’t just build infrastructure—I design resilient platforms that scale with your users while keeping cloud costs under strict control.

Whether you are preparing for an audit, migrating complex AI workloads, or struggling with "cloud sprawl" expenses, I provide the strategic leadership and hands-on engineering to turn your infrastructure into a competitive advantage.

Core Specializations:
1. MLOps & Big Data Orchestration
I bridge the gap between Data Science and Production. I specialise in deploying and managing high-scale AI environments using:
Azure Databricks: Designing Lakehouse architectures (Bronze/Silver/Gold) and Unity Catalog governance.
Orchestration: Advanced workflows with Argo Workflows and Airflow.
Model Lifecycle: End-to-end MLOps using Azure ML, ensuring models are reproducible, monitored, and scalable.

2. Kubernetes (AKS) & Container Strategy

Production-grade AKS management is about more than just "running pods." I focus on:
Zero-Trust Networking: Private Links, Service Mesh (Istio/Linkerd), and Entra ID integration.
Security & Compliance: Hardening clusters for GDPR, BaFin, or ISO 27001 standards.
Automation: Full GitOps implementation using GitHub Actions and Terraform.

3. FinOps: Cloud Cost Tracing & Optimization
Cloud spending can spiral out of control during rapid scaling. I act as your "Cloud CFO" by:
Identifying underutilized resources and "zombie" clusters.
Implementing Right-sizing and Spot Instance strategies to cut bills by up to 40%.
Setting up automated cost-tracing dashboards for engineering teams.

Why Hire Me?
Global Enterprise Experience: I bring the architectural rigour of a world-leading technology firm to the fast-paced environment of scale-ups.
Security-First Mindset: Infrastructure is never "done" until it is secure and compliant.
Fractional Leadership: I can act as your Fractional Head of Infrastructure, mentoring your team and defining your 2-year tech roadmap.

Technologies I Master:
Cloud: Azure, AWS
Tools: Terraform,Bicep, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Docker.
Data/AI: Databricks, Azure ML, Argo, Airflow.
Security: Azure Firewall, Key Vault, NSGs, Private Endpoints.
