Business Context

LTIMindtree / LTI engagements covered cloud automation for pharmaceutical research, reinsurance, and utility clients across Azure, AWS, and GCP.

The Challenge

The work required reliable infrastructure automation, VM hardening, data platform deployment, ADF pipeline orchestration, and security remediation across multiple client environments.

Approach & Architecture

For Parexel, wrote ARM Templates, Terraform, Bicep, Azure DevOps YAML, PowerShell, Bash, and Python automation for Azure compute, networking, identity, and storage. Built hardened VM images, Python resource locking automation, and a PHP-based internal cloud practice portal. Deployed and managed Azure data platform components including Blob Storage, ADLS Gen2, Azure Data Factory, Databricks, PostgreSQL, Hive, and Azure Synapse.

Architecture notes

Azure compute, networking, identity, and storage services were provisioned through Terraform, ARM Templates, Bicep, and Azure DevOps YAML. ADF pipelines ingested source data, copied data from Synapse/PostgreSQL into ADLS Gen2, orchestrated workflow dependencies, triggered Databricks notebooks, and published curated datasets for Power BI dashboards.
