Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

With 9 years of experience in cloud architecture, I have developed a strong mastery of infrastructure migrations to Azure as well as the design of hybrid architectures.

I also have proven expertise in network security, particularly on Forti, Palo-Alto, Cisco, and F5 solutions. I have advanced mastery of automation and IaC, particularly with Terraform and Ansible, which I use to design, standardize, and make environments reliable. I also support DevOps teams in industrializing and continuously improving their practices. My Azure certifications and field experience now allow me to contribute effectively to digital transformation projects.
