Over the years, I’ve gained experience in various domains including networking & operating system, databases, web development, content management systems & collaboration, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. I love sharing my knowledge and experiences through writing and teaching.

This site is packed with articles, tutorials, and resources related to Microsoft technologies, cloud computing, and software development. Throughout my career, I’ve written numerous classes about Microsoft technologies, and for simplicity, I’ve included those that I am still teaching.

After bringing my cloud skills to an expert level, I delved deeper into the world of Cloud Native Apps and gained in-depth experience with microservices architecture, especially using Dapr, .NET Aspire, and Azure Container Apps.

As a passionate web developer, I started using Angular JS and later updated my skills to Angular 2+. As a SharePoint developer, I began using React JS in SharePoint Framework (SPFx) and Microsoft Teams.

In 2024, I started focusing on Microsoft Semantic Kernel, Microsoft Copilot, and Agentic AI.

My personal Interests

Beyond my professional interests, I am a dog dad to my Sighthounds and have been working out in the gym since I was 14 years old. I also consider myself a master chef in the kitchen, with a love for cooking Thai and Indian cuisine. These culinary skills were honed during my travels around Southeast Asia, mostly between the ages of 27 and 35, where I used to escape the cold winters in Austria.
