My name is Jeff Brown, and I am a 13+ year veteran of the IT industry working as a systems administrator/engineer and cloud engineer. I've primarily worked in the Microsoft space with technologies like Active Directory, Exchange, SQL, & SCCM. Lately I've been helping companies move to Microsoft 365, primarily using Microsoft Teams for collaboration purposes. I love automation and am a big fan of PowerShell and programming in general.
I've started this challenge as a way to organize what I am doing to expand my skillset outside of the Microsoft ecosystem. I'm working towards a career as an Azure Cloud or DevOps engineer. I've already achieved several Azure certifications including:
- Azure Administrator Associate
- Azure Security Engineer Associate
- Azure Architect Expert
- DevOps Engineer Expert

-

-
Knowledgeable on Ansible and Terraform
-
Build pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub actions, and Jenkins
-
Basics of containers
-
A bit of Python too
