A field journal, not a blog.
Most cloud writing is one of two things: marketing or motivation. This is neither. It's a working journal of patterns from real Azure, AKS, and AI-platform engagements — written for the next person who has to ship the same thing.
I'm a senior DevOps engineer focused on hybrid-cloud infrastructure across Azure, AWS, and VMware. Most of my work today is in Go, Python and Terraform — building reusable IaC modules, running Kubernetes (AKS, KubeVirt) at scale, and squeezing cost and performance out of cloud workloads. I'm a Microsoft MVP for DevOps (2025), and this site is where I write the things I wish someone had written for me.
Before all this, I worked Microsoft Azure Identity support at Tek Experts and ran fraud-detection ops at a Nigerian bank. Both jobs taught me that the boring details — synchronisation conflicts, misconfigured pipelines, wrong RBAC — are where real reliability lives.

What this site covers
Working on something Azure- or AKS-shaped?
I take on a small number of advisory engagements each quarter. If your team is wrestling with landing zones, AKS platform work, or Azure AI workloads, get in touch.
