About

I specialize in the "messy middle" where security best practices meet business reality. With 25 years as an IT leader, cloud architect, and security expert, I guide organizations and professionals through practical, achievable security transformations that balance compliance, cost, and innovation. My unique skill—Azure Infrastructure Automation—combines deep expertise in Azure cloud migrations, Terraform scripting, and security frameworks to deliver scalable, secure solutions that work in the real world.

Why Me?
- Proven Track Record: Led Azure migrations cutting server costs by 50% and implemented Azure Security Center and Sentinel to strengthen threat detection.
- Practical Approach: Blend pattern recognition from managing security crises with hands-on experience in PCI DSS, HIPAA, and FISMA compliance.
- Automation Expertise: Designed Terraform scripts for consistent infrastructure and optimized API Management/CDN for secure, high-performance applications.
- Leadership Insight: Mentored teams to boost productivity by 20% and negotiated vendor deals to reduce IT costs by 20%.

What I Offer:
- Guidance on Azure cloud migrations and infrastructure automation.
- Strategies for robust security within real-world business constraints.
- Coaching for IT professionals aiming for leadership or cloud/security specialization.

Whether you’re tackling cloud adoption, securing infrastructure, or stepping into a senior IT role, I provide actionable, tailored advice drawn from real-world successes. Let’s navigate the messy middle together.
