Cloud engineer. I build things on Azure.
I work with Azure Arc, Azure Automation, and infrastructure as code — mostly PowerShell, Bicep, and the occasional Terraform. When something’s worth writing down, I put it on this blog.
Hey, I'm
About Me
I’m a Cloud & Automation Engineer based in the UK, helping enterprise teams tame hybrid infrastructure on Azure. Day to day that means Azure Arc at scale, patch lifecycle automation, and building governance frameworks that actually stick.
Outside of work I tinker with side projects, write about what I learn, and occasionally break things in dev so I don’t break them in prod.
What I work with- Azure (Arc, Automation, Update Manager, Policy)
- PowerShell
- Terraform
- Bicep / ARM Templates
- Python
- Git & CI/CD (GitHub Actions)
- Linux & Windows Server
- Infrastructure as Code
