Experience

In-depth Security Architecture Designed

One of the projects designed an end-to-end security architecture to have robust security architecture in place. I have utilized the NIST framework to design the architecture strategically. The client was pleased to create such an architecture within a tight deadline.

Azure Dashboard

I have used Event Hubs, Stream Analytics, Azure Functions, Azure Data Factory, and Synapse Analytics to run through the report. Thus, I believe I can handle any Azure PaaS projects without any hassle.
