Role

Cloud Technical Engineer / Delivery & Services Engineer

Duration

2025 – Present (or update according to your project timeline)

Lessons Learned

If I had to do it again, I would focus more on automation and standardization from the beginning of the project. Establishing Infrastructure as Code (IaC), automated deployment procedures, and detailed validation testing earlier would have reduced deployment time and improved operational efficiency. I would also involve stakeholders earlier in the planning phase to ensure smoother migration and faster adoption of cloud services.
