Roy F. Bernales | Cloud & DevOps Engineer Cloud and DevOps-focused engineer building secure, scalable systems on Microsoft Azure with a strong emphasis on automation, security, and real-world application.
My work centers around designing production-style environments using infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, and modern cloud services. I have hands-on experience developing AI-powered platforms, including a secure Legal RAG system that integrates Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, and Microsoft Entra ID to deliver controlled, context-aware access to enterprise data.
I bring a strong foundation in backend development (.NET, Python), system administration, and virtualized infrastructure, supported by a multi-node home lab where I design, test, and deploy distributed systems.
Currently focused on advancing in cloud engineering, DevOps, and site reliability, with ongoing certification paths across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
