Hi, I'm Junaid Ahmed. I'm a Cloud Security & Identity Architect with more than 10 years of experience in identity and access management, threat mitigation and Zero Trust architecture. I help organizations design cloud environments that are secure by default and resilient when something goes wrong.

CloudGuru is where I write down what I learn on the job: the step-by-step guides, scripts and lessons I wish I'd had the first time I ran into the same problem.

  • Microsoft Entra ID: Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management, identity governance, and hybrid identity with Entra Connect

  • Azure security and governance, including Azure Policy as code

  • Zero Trust architecture

  • Automation with Terraform, PowerShell and Python, and DevSecOps

When I'm not working on cloud security, I'm usually on two wheels. I ride a Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and a KTM 390 Adventure with my local motorcycle club, and I built the club's web app, Jahmed MotoHub.
