☁️ Jair Da Silva - Azure Administrator Portfolio

👋 Hi, I'm Jair Da Silva

IT Professional in Career Transition
Microsoft Azure • Windows Server • PowerShell

Microsoft Azure AZ-104 Windows Server PowerShell Azure Labs

☁️ About Me

I'm currently transitioning into the IT industry with a strong focus on Microsoft Azure, Windows Server, and Cloud Infrastructure.

To strengthen my practical skills, I design, deploy, test, troubleshoot, and document hands-on Azure projects while preparing for the Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ-104) certification.

I believe the best way to learn is by building real projects. Every Azure lab in this profile has been deployed, tested, validated, and fully documented to demonstrate practical Cloud administration skills.

🚀 Azure Portfolio

My Azure portfolio currently contains 7 completed hands-on projects, covering networking, security, virtual machines, load balancing, storage, high availability, identity, and access management.

👉 View Complete Azure Portfolio

The portfolio currently includes:

  • Azure Network Security Groups (NSG)
  • Azure Bastion
  • Azure Standard Load Balancer
  • Azure Application Gateway
  • Azure Storage Account & Blob Storage
  • Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS) with Azure Load Balancer
  • Microsoft Entra ID & Azure RBAC
