About Riyaz Talikoti

I’m a Technical Architect with deep hands-on expertise across the Microsoft Azure Cloud ecosystem and Full Stack Development, I focus on building systems that balance performance, security, and maintainability. My foundation in Clean Architecture, SOLID principles, and Design Patterns helps me create solutions that stand the test of time — adaptable to changing business needs and technologies. Over the years, I’ve architected and implemented applications using Microservices, Event-Driven, and SOA architectures, leveraging Azure PaaS components like Functions, App Services, Event Grid, Event Hub, Logic Apps, Azure SQL, and Cosmos DB. I enjoy connecting the dots between architecture and implementation — translating high-level visions into robust and working systems using C#.NET, SQL, EF Core, Dapper, and ADO.NET. I believe great architecture isn’t just about technology — it’s about people, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Through Scaled Agile practices, I work closely with cross-functional teams to align technology strategy with business goals, fostering an environment of innovation and accountability. Currently, I’m expanding my knowledge in Data Privacy and Security, with a vision to design cloud solutions that are not only scalable and efficient but also compliant and secure by design. 🧠 Key Skills & Expertise • Architecture: Clean Architecture, Microservices, Event-Driven, SOA • Cloud & DevOps: Azure PaaS (Functions, App Service, Container App, Event Grid, Event Hub, Logic App, Azure SQL, Cosmos DB), Docker, Containerization • Development: C#.NET, Angular, EF Core, Dapper, ADO.NET • Practices: SOLID, Design Patterns, Scaled Agile (SAFe) • Focus Areas: System Scalability, Cloud-Native Design, Data Privacy & Security
