I build and secure Azure platforms, and I ship with Claude Code.
I'm Daniel Susca, a senior DevSecOps and cloud engineer with more than 30 years in IT. I help engineering teams in the US and Europe move faster on Azure without loosening their security or compliance controls.

Many AI consultants have never been through an audit. Many compliance specialists still work at the old pace. I bring both. I spent 13 years at a bank, then several years in payments, and I worked on HIPAA-aligned Azure architecture for a US software company.
Today I use Claude Code every day to build pipelines, automate GitHub work and ship working applications. AI makes the first draft faster. Review, tests and quality gates decide what reaches production. That is how I work, and it is what I set up for clients.
