I ship to production on Azure without downtime.

I build CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, provision infrastructure with Terraform, run workloads on Kubernetes (AKS), and lead the team that monitors it all in production.

$ az pipelines run --name release-prod

CloudEquiv

A public site that translates services across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, so engineers moving between clouds can find the equivalent service, region or term quickly.

  • Designed, built and launched it end to end, including a region translator checked against the official AWS, Azure and GCP region lists.
  • Deployed on Vercel with preview branches before each release; domain and DNS on Cloudflare.

Zero-downtime ELK Stack upgrade

Production logging ran on Kibana 8.11.1 and engineers could not see production events as they happened.

  • Upgraded the ELK Stack from Kibana 8.11.1 to 9.2.1 with no downtime.
  • Integrated Azure Event Hub into the log ingestion pipeline.

Result: real-time monitoring of production events, and written appreciation from the product team.

CI/CD and infrastructure as code

Releases across development, staging and production needed to be consistent and repeatable.

  • Azure DevOps multi-stage YAML pipelines with Octopus Deploy for releases.
  • Reusable Terraform and Terragrunt modules, with remote state in Azure Blob Storage.
  • Microservices on AKS with Helm, Azure Container Registry, Ingress, HPA autoscaling and Secrets.

Result: 40+ zero-downtime deployments, 99.9% availability, no configuration drift across 3 environments, and about 60% faster builds.

Azure cost optimization

Cloud spend had grown with resources nobody was using at full capacity.

  • Analyzed usage telemetry to find underused resources.
  • Decommissioned what was idle and right-sized virtual machines and storage tiers.

Result: approximately $5,000 saved in Azure spend.

Azure infrastructure automation

Automated provisioning and deployment of a web application stack (App Service, Storage, Azure SQL) that had been configured by hand in the portal.

  • Declarative ARM templates for every resource.
  • Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines integrated with GitHub, with Azure Monitor instrumentation.

Result: one repeatable deployment across dev, test and production.

Equipment tracking system

Equipment tracking and maintenance logs were kept manually.

  • Built a Python (Flask) and MySQL application for tracking and maintenance logging.
  • Added Twilio SMS alerts and optimized the SQL queries behind reporting.

Result: 70% less manual effort and 40% faster reporting.
