Cloud Architecture & Delivery

• Develop secure, scalable cloud infrastructures on major cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud).
• Select the most suitable cloud services based on performance, availability, cost, and application requirements.
• Automate cloud resource provisioning using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) frameworks (e.g., ARM templates, Deployment Manager, CloudFormation, Terraform).
• Incorporate principles of cost efficiency, operational continuity, and compliance into all architectural decisions.

Cloud Security, Governance & Documentation

• Establish and maintain strong security controls for cloud environments, including IAM frameworks, encryption standards, and access policies.
• Ensure cloud solutions adhere to industry best practices, governance frameworks, and data-protection regulations.
• Develop ongoing monitoring and reporting processes to assess cloud health, performance, and utilisation.
• Produce clear technical documentation, diagrams, and architecture artifacts for internal teams and stakeholders.

Operations, Optimisation & Problem Solving

• Perform routine maintenance activities to ensure platform stability and operational uptime.
• Optimise system resources for resilience, performance, and scalability.
• Troubleshoot environment-wide issues and lead root-cause analysis for cloud-related incidents.
• Automate monitoring, maintenance, and repeatable operational processes to enhance efficiency and reduce manual effort.
