• Expertise in Terraform and Infrastructure as Code best practices.
• Solid understanding of cost analysis, budgeting, and Azure billing tools.
• Hands‑on experience with automation (Azure CLI, PowerShell, ARM templates).
• Excellent problem‑solving skills and ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
