As a Cloud Migration Specialist, I spend most of my time migrating workloads to the Azure cloud from on-prem and other cloud providers. It is my job to ensure the compatibility and functionality of systems work in their new home in the cloud. With a focus on IaaS deployments, customers rely on my skills to make the transition to the cloud.
What is your ultimate goal when working with customers?
My ultimate goal is to prepare the customer with a migration plan that will be smooth and successful when moving to the cloud. Educating customers on how their systems will function in the cloud is part of a complete and successful migration.

I am resolution-oriented and empathetic to the client’s challenge and the adverse effect it can have on their business.
