About
I build and deliver cloud infrastructure for organisations where uptime, security and reliability matter.
Most of my work sits at the intersection of Azure, VMware and networking - helping organisations modernise infrastructure without disrupting the services that depend on it.
I came up through VMware, and that foundation still shapes how I think about architecture, migrations and platform design today. While much of my current work focuses on Azure networking and Azure VMware Solution, the underlying challenge is usually the same: delivering reliable infrastructure that people can depend on.
The environments I work in span healthcare, finance and housing, where uptime, security and operational simplicity genuinely matter. That means everything from VCF platforms and FortiGate firewalls to the networking that quietly keeps critical services online.
More recently, I’ve been exploring where AI fits into infrastructure engineering and operations. Like most people in this field, I learn the most in my homelab, where experimentation is cheap and failure costs nothing.
AzureToZ is where I document what I learn along the way. No grand thesis - just practical notes from the work, A to Z.
Focus
Azure networking
Hub-and-spoke, VNet peering, routing and Azure Firewall across Azure environments.
Azure VMware Solution
Native VMware on Azure - migrations and hybrid operations without re-platforming.
VMware & VCF
vSphere, vSAN and Cloud Foundation for private-cloud platforms.
Network security
FortiGate firewalls, NSGs and segmentation between network zones.
AI
Practical uses for AI across infrastructure engineering and operations.
Homelab
Proxmox, VMware and bare metal - where I try everything first.
