An experienced architect with 20 years in software and a strong background in troubleshooting. Currently spending the majority of my time immersed in the cloud, looking to drive change through DevOps principles and practices.
A lifelong learner and a big believer in "See one, do one, teach one", I've co-authored two books in the last two years, along with a video course and certifcation questions for topics across Azure. I am now looking at further content creation around Azure and DevOps. Always open for content opportunities!

I'm currently working on multiple migrations; a private cloud to Azure Virtual Desktop, some legacy apps to IaaS / PaaS and architecting a greenfield cloud native solution. All of these are in Azure, tied into Azure DevOps for CI/CD.
With signals from Microsoft pointing to GitHub Actions as the future, I am working on porting my Azure DevOps skills across. I'm also expanding my Python knowledge around Data Engineering concepts which is a nice tie with my early career as a DBA and recent upskill in data, AI and machine learning related PaaS services.
