New at Microsoft! Returning to my engineering roots!

I’m excited to announce that I have joined Microsoft within Azure Core Engineering! For years, I’ve worked in or around the Microsoft ecosystem, spending my formative years at a Microsoft joint venture, Avanade, as a .NET developer and architect, building web and native client solutions for customers using Microsoft technology. Later, I helped customers adopt Windows Azure (now Microsoft Azure) in the very early days of the cloud.

After leaving Avanade, I ventured into the world of non-Microsoft technologies, gaining experience with AWS, Google Cloud, and Terraform. I also spent a lot of time in technical pre-sales, helping customers discover the art of the possible. Throughout it all, I stayed close to the wire—keeping my hands dirty and remaining technical and hands-on with code.

Now, I’m thrilled to return to the Microsoft ecosystem—this time from within–at a Microsoft Azure engineering team-—with the goal of helping improve the Azure platform. I look forward to taking a deeper turn back into technology and continuing my journey!
