// azure cloud & devsecops runtime

Cloud Engineer
building secure Azure systems.

I design and operate production Azure infrastructure — serverless workloads, Terraform/Bicep IaC, and CI/CD pipelines with security enforced at the infrastructure layer, not patched on after deployment.

Live deployment pipeline

Every push through this pipeline runs the same five gates I build for clients — code lands only after it clears security scanning.
