Cloud Solutions Architect at Microsoft

I work at the intersection of Azure platform engineering, Infrastructure as Code, and agentic AI—helping partners turn complex requirements into secure, governed, deployable platforms.

I also build the tooling behind that work. My current focus is APEX, an agentic engineering workflow where AI prepares and humans decide.

Turning cloud complexity into something less Sith-like. ⚔️

Design Azure platforms, landing zones, governance, networking, and hybrid-cloud solutions that balance security, reliability, cost, and operational reality.

Create agentic workflows and Infrastructure as Code with GitHub Copilot, Bicep, Terraform, Azure Verified Modules, and practical validation gates.

Help partners and engineers succeed through architecture guidance, workshops, MicroHacks, reference implementations, and reusable accelerators.

APEX—the Agentic Platform Engineering eXperience for Azure—turns plain-language infrastructure intent into reviewed, deployable Bicep or Terraform.

Intent → Requirements → Architecture → Governance → IaC → Deployment → Documentation

What makes it different:

• Human approval gates before consequential actions
• Independent challenger agents that critique requirements, architecture, governance, and implementation
• Azure Well-Architected Framework assessment and live cost analysis
• Bicep and Terraform execution tracks
• Live Azure Policy discovery and governance-aware planning
• AVM-first code generation with build, lint, security, and deployment validation

The live walkthrough follows a real workload through the complete pipeline in 30 minutes. It preserves the generated artifacts, policy findings, validation trail, adversarial reviews, and deployment evidence—not just a polished product narrative.
