Cloud platforms your teams can actually ship on.
I design cloud-native applications and platforms on Azure, greenfield or migrated from on-premises, and then build them myself.
Services
From the first design to the last pipeline.
Azure architecture
Cloud-native applications and platforms designed around how your organisation actually works: landing zones, networking, identity and security that hold up as you grow.
Migration & modernisation
Moving workloads from on-premises to Azure and modernising them along the way, so you don't simply carry old problems into a new data centre.
Platform engineering
Shared platform services, infrastructure as code and pipelines that teams can build on, with the governance and automation that keep it all maintainable.
Approach
Small, deliberate steps. Everything as code.
No big-bang transformations. Every engagement follows the same four steps, scaled to what you need.
- 01
Look
Start from what is really running: the subscriptions, the pipelines and the team habits. Not the diagram on the wiki.
- 02
Decide
Agree on the few changes that matter most, together with the people who will own them afterwards.
- 03
Build
Work hands-on alongside your team. Everything lands in your repositories, as code, with the reasoning written down.
- 04
Hand over
Leave a team that can run and extend the platform without me. Knowledge transfer is part of the job, not an extra.
About
One person, from design to delivery.
I'm Damir Varga, a freelance Azure solution architect and platform engineer. I've worked in IT for more than 25 years, the last eight of them on Microsoft Azure.
Most of my work is cloud migration and modernisation, shared platform services, and the governance and automation that keep them maintainable. I design the architecture and then build it myself, so the person who draws the diagram is the one who makes it work.
