Azure

This project is a self-hosted, multi-cloud cost management system for AWS and Azure that I designed and built from scratch. It runs daily to collect granular cost line items at the service × region × account level, detects spend anomalies, sends configurable alerts, and produces a rich suite of HTML reports — from executive summaries and rolling-window trend views to per-owner and per-department drilldowns and an annual budget tracker. All data is stored locally in a SQLite database, keeping the system lightweight and self-contained with no external SaaS dependencies. ...

In this initiative I led the deployment of Azure Arc to manage a hybrid estate of Microsoft SQL Server instances spanning hundreds of on-premises and cloud-hosted servers. By unifying SQL infrastructure visibility and automating policy enforcement, the project delivered a 20% reduction in licensing costs and significantly streamlined asset compliance tracking. The work combined deep Azure administration expertise with enterprise IT automation practices and leveraged AI-generated deployment scaffolds to accelerate implementation while maintaining production-grade stability.
