Hi, I’m Lloyd —
Systems Support Engineer
I build and operate cloud-native platforms on Azure — from CSP billing tools to containerized web apps — with a bias for automation, clean delivery and cost efficiency.

Cloud engineering, end to end
Systems Support Engineer and Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partner based in Makati City. I design Azure infrastructure, modernize .NET apps, wire CI/CD with Azure DevOps and GitHub, and ship Docker workloads to App Service and VMs — with pragmatic architecture, traceable automation, and honest cloud spend.
I help founders, IT teams and Microsoft partners — in Makati and remotely — stand up Azure platforms, automate delivery, and keep production operations and billing under control.
