• 🔭 I'm a Senior Cloud Solution Architect (Enterprise) at @microsoft, covering Cloud & AI Platforms for FSI / Banking.
• ☁️ Day to day I architect across AI, cloud, infrastructure, data, apps, and innovation — primarily on Azure.
• ⚙️ I care about automation, infrastructure-as-code, developer experience, and machine-readable engineering artifacts.
• 📝 I write about cloud & engineering things at markbeacom.com.
• 📍 Based in Ohio, USA.
• 🍄 Outside of tech: gourmet mushrooms & mycology — always happy to nerd out about spores.
