Lead cloud assessment engagements using native discovery tools and build business cases with TCO analysis and migration roadmaps
Hands-on migration execution using platform-native migration services and third-party tools for servers, databases, and storage
Work with customers on hybrid connectivity design—dedicated interconnects, site-to-site VPN, and transit architectures for on-prem integration
Build cloud landing zones with proper governance, security baselines, identity management, and network segmentation across multi-account/subscription environments
Collaborate with application teams to refactor legacy workloads for cloud-native architectures (containers, serverless, managed services)
Document migration runbooks, cutover plans, and rollback procedures for production transitions
Provide post-migration support—cost optimization, performance tuning, and operational handoff to customer teams
