     connections, with a focus on integrating
    Okta RADIUS
     for secure VPN access.
  • Data & File Services Migration:
     Develop a detailed migration plan for various file shares, including the use of Azure storage solutions like
    Azure Files

  • Automation:
     Leverage automation tools and scripting (
    PowerShell
    ,
    Terraform

  • Extensive hands-on experience
     as a Solution Architect with a focus on
    on-premises to Azure cloud migration projects
    .
  • Proven experience designing and implementing
    Azure landing zones
     and hybrid cloud environments.
