PROJECT PROFILE
1. Germany — B4C Shared Platform & PDPM (Digital Project
Management)
01/2024 – Till Date · Role: Solution / Platform
Architect
Own the architecture of two closely related Pulumi (TypeScript)
programs: B4C, a shared multi-tenant Azure platform consumed
by PDPM and five other downstream business platforms (UCC, VRIDS,
NTPDG, DoIT, AquaScan), and PDPM, the Digital Project
Management platform used by all project participants — client,
contractor and sovereign functions — to plan, test, implement
and monitor infrastructure projects. B4C provisions the shared Front
Door + WAF, API Management, Container App Environment, Container
Registry, Redis Enterprise cache, Service Bus namespace, Key Vault,
Storage and Log Analytics workspace that every tenant platform
builds on. PDPM is split into two independently deployed Pulumi
stacks — pdpm-core (SQL Server with an elastic pool
across seven databases, TDE encryption and private endpoints,
storage accounts, networking, Service Bus, Key Vault with RBAC
authorization) and pdpm-component (Function Apps, Container
Apps, a Static Web App admin portal, Logic Apps and Dapr pub/sub,
state-store and cron-binding components) — with the
architectural boundary between the two mechanically enforced at
build time via dependency-cruiser so platform and application
concerns cannot leak into one another.
Tools & Technology: Azure (Front Door/WAF, API
Management, Container Apps, Function Apps, Static Web Apps, SQL
Elastic Pool, Service Bus, Key Vault, Redis Enterprise, Log
Analytics), Pulumi (TypeScript), Dapr, Docker, Bash, PowerShell,
Azure DevOps, GitHub Advanced Security, Renovate, Vitest.
-
Serve as solution, integration and infrastructure architect for
both the shared B4C platform and the PDPM tenant, across six
environments (AU, AU1, EU1, EU2, PU1, TU1).
-
Designed the two-stack (core/component) split for PDPM and the
accompanying StackReference-based cross-stack output
contract, so platform/data infrastructure and business-domain
application hosting evolve and deploy independently.
-
Architected the shared B4C platform's multi-tenant network
topology — Front Door + WAF, API Management, and a shared
Container App Environment — serving as the common ingress
and compute fabric for six downstream business platforms.
-
Designed secured, segmented network architectures with private
endpoints, NSGs, firewall rules and zero-trust-aligned controls
across subnets for API Management, private endpoints and the
delegated Container App Environment.
-
Implemented identity and access management with OAuth2, Entra ID
and workload-identity/federated authentication patterns, and
RBAC-authorized Key Vault access consumed via managed identities.
-
Designed event-driven integration using Service Bus topics/queues
and Dapr pub/sub, state-store and cron-binding components,
decoupling business-domain services (workflow, project, email,
model management, SharePoint permissions, Teams, transfer jobs)
from one another.
-
Maintained enterprise-grade security posture: encryption at rest
and in transit, TDE on SQL, secure configuration baselines, GitHub
Advanced Security scanning, and automated dependency updates via
Renovate.
-
Planned and implemented disaster-recovery strategy,
high-availability configuration and scheduled backup/restore
pipelines for critical SQL and storage resources.
-
Enforced engineering governance: TypeScript across both
repositories, ESLint + Prettier, a 99% line/branch/function
test-coverage gate on all infrastructure code via Vitest with
Pulumi runtime mocks, and JSON-Schema-validated (Ajv)
per-environment configuration as the single source of truth.
-
Redesigned and optimized Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines (validate
→ preview → deploy), including plan-based
pulumi up --plan deployments, scheduled drift
detection, and manual maintenance-mode toggles for API Management
and Front Door WAF.
-
Authored architecture, pipeline and pub/sub documentation (Mermaid
diagrams) consumed by every team building on the shared platform,
and repo-level agent skills that let engineering teams and AI
coding agents navigate the platform boundary safely.
-
Delivered Proofs of Concept to validate architecture decisions and
gave engineering teams a clear source of truth; provided ongoing
architectural guidance to management and development teams,
shaping long-term roadmap and technology strategy.
-
Wrote automation scripts in Bash and PowerShell for operational
efficiency, compliance enforcement and lifecycle management; used
Docker for secure development, testing and deployment workflows.
-
Troubleshot and resolved complex multi-layer issues spanning
networking, infrastructure, identity and application domains
across both platforms.
