Mohamed Farouk, Lead Cloud Architect

My work focuses on enterprise-scale Azure architecture, where reliability, security, governance, and cost control are non-negotiable. I specialize in designing Azure Landing Zones aligned with Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework, building secure hybrid connectivity using ExpressRoute and VPN, and architecting platforms that support mission-critical workloads with 99.99% availability targets.

Over the years, I have led cloud transformations across government and enterprise environments, migrating complex workloads from on-premises to Azure, modernizing databases to Azure SQL Managed Instance, and defining disaster recovery strategies that reduce recovery time from hours to minutes. I regularly conduct Azure architecture reviews aligned with the Well-Architected Framework, helping teams close design gaps across security, cost, performance, and reliability.

Beyond delivery, I act as a trusted technical advisor, working closely with stakeholders, engineers, and leadership to translate business requirements into secure, scalable, and compliant cloud architectures.

I am also a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) and the creator of The Cloud Warrior, where I share practical Azure architecture knowledge with the Arabic-speaking community. Through training, YouTube content, and real-world examples, I help professionals move from "knowing Azure services" to thinking like cloud architects.
