Executive Summary

As the Azure Consultant at Metro Transit Authority, I had the strategic mandate to transform their SharePoint 2013 environment to Microsoft Azure. It was clear that they were in need of an upgrade, and I stepped up to architect a cloud solution that would not only meet their immediate needs but also provide long-term scalability and efficiency.

Project Description

Technically, the role was as complex as it was rewarding. The organization was heavily reliant on SharePoint 2013 and .NET applications, which required me to come up with a tailored migration plan. I employed Azure DevOps for pipeline orchestration and Azure Active Directory for identity management. Monitoring the health of the system post-migration was another critical piece, for which I leveraged Azure’s robust monitoring tools. Simply put, I was the go-to person for all things Azure, ensuring that the migration was not just smooth but also future-proof.

Task/Challenge

The role was more than just technical; it was consultative. I found myself in daily stakeholder meetings where the decisions made could influence the organization’s IT strategy for years to come. Here, my expertise in data analytics came into play. I presented data-driven insights using visualization tools to articulate the benefits of transitioning to Azure, effectively steering the organizational strategy toward a more cloud-centric future.

Solution

Summing it up, my time at Metro Transit Authority was a blend of technical prowess and strategic thinking. I performed a comprehensive system assessment, laid out a detailed migration plan, and worked closely with various stakeholders to ensure a seamless transition to Microsoft Azure. Additionally, my break-fix solutions for internal .NET applications helped maintain and enhance the existing infrastructure. I was a key catalyst in helping Metro Transit Authority take a significant step toward a more efficient and scalable IT infrastructure.
