Hello, I’m Syed Azam, a DevOps and Cloud Engineer with 7+ years of IT industry experience. I specialize in building scalable CI/CD pipelines, automating infrastructure with AWS, Azure, and GCP, and helping LIMS workflows run reliably in containerized environments. I have hands-on experience with HL7 and FHIR data exchanges, container orchestration, data migrations, and secure cloud architectures that support healthcare and life sciences workloads. I enjoy translating complex requirements into robust architectures using Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, and CI/CD tools. I have led migrations from on-premises to AWS Redshift and designed data lakes on S3, while ensuring compliance with security standards like NIST and ISO 27001. I’m passionate about delivering reliable, scalable solutions across multi-cloud environments and collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive impactful outcomes in healthcare and research settings.
