Juan R.

As a Cloud Architect at Aareal Bank, I design and implement cloud infrastructure solutions that align with both business objectives and stringent European banking regulations. I lead the modernization of legacy systems by driving the migration to Microsoft Azure, applying infrastructure-as-code principles with Terraform to ensure scalable, secure, and compliant deployments. I work closely with enterprise architects, security teams, and cross-functional development squads to architect cloud-native solutions that support operational resilience, data protection, and long-term strategic growth. My focus is on building robust, automated, and auditable infrastructure that enables agility while maintaining regulatory integrity.
