Welcome
Hello! Welcome to Engineering Clouds, where I’ll be sharing my passion and experiences with all things Cloud, DevOps, Platform Engineering, Cloud Native and Kubernetes.
My name is Karl, or @Karl_ITNerd if you follow me on the site previously known as Twitter.
A New Coat of Paint
I decided to rebrand and relaunch my blog with a new name and a new focus: Engineering Clouds. I was previously writing on irishtechie.cloud where I talked about Azure and Microsoft 365, as well as my experiences in the tech industry. You can expect to see more of the same here, but with a more specific focus on DevOps, Cloud Engineering, and Cloud Native technologies.
Who Am I?
I have been working in the IT industry for over 10 years, and I am currently a Cloud Architect and Consultant at Avanade UK. I’m a passionate advocate for cloud native technologies, particularly Kubernetes. I enjoy working with customers, helping them to realise their potential using the power and agility of DevOps and the Cloud. I am also a strong believer in the power of community. I’m a serial helper of people, and I love to learn knew things, share my knowledge and help other people succeed in their careers.
I’m a Microsoft MVP in the Azure space, a co-host of the Cloud Native Weekly show, and co-organiser of the Azure Cloud Native and Limerick DotNet and Azure User Groups. Find out more in the Community section on the Home page.
What to expect
I have learned a lot from the amazing tech community, and I want to give back by sharing my knowledge, experience, and passion for technology with you.
You can expect articles on a wide variety of topics covering DevOps, Cloud Engineering, and Cloud Native technologies. I will also be sharing my experiences and learnings from my career in the tech industry, as well as my experiences in the community.
