After my extremely brief career as a chef, I once impulsively decided to retrain, after all, I was already “doing something with computers.”

Back in those days, and I’m talking 35+ years ago, we hadn’t even heard of IT, let alone ICT or “the cloud.” Building and fixing computers was what you did, and to your family, you were the go-to expert for anything with a plug.

Fun times, sure, but I craved more. More knowledge, different things… Novell was the hot stuff back then, not that you had much else to choose from. So for a stretch of my time on this planet, I walked around as a Certified Novell Administrator, until Microsoft decided to take over the world.

“You’re going to do something with Windows,” they said. Well, I thought not. Give me Unix, thank you very much, I’m definitely not part of the click-generation.

Unfortunately, there’s no escaping it anymore, but I digress.

In 2014 I got into Azure, you know, that cloud platform by Microsoft. “Brilliant,” I thought, “this is my next chapter.”

And now you’ve landed on this page and you’re probably thinking: “Cool story bro, but what’s in it for me?”

I’d say: have a click around and see if anything’s useful. Or don’t. No pressure…
