As an Azure Architect, Consultant, and Engineer, I bring together strategy, implementation, and hands-on technical expertise to help organizations succeed in the cloud.
I believe in the transformative power of cloud native technology and specialize in helping businesses unlock their potential through Azure, Kubernetes, and modern DevOps practices. As a Microsoft MVP in Azure and Azure Architect at Avanade, I’ve guided countless organizations through their cloud transformation journey.
What I bring to the table:
Originally from Northern Ireland, now living in Michigan with my family. When I’m not architecting cloud solutions or writing about the latest Azure features, you’ll find me exploring Michigan’s great outdoors or watching Star Trek re-runs (yes, I’m that level of Trekkie! 🖖).
Let’s connect! I love discussing cloud architecture, sharing knowledge, and helping fellow cloud enthusiasts. Whether you’re just starting your cloud journey or optimizing enterprise workloads, I’m always happy to chat!
