I work as an EMEA Global Black Belt for Sovereign Cloud at Microsoft, helping organizations turn complex sovereignty, regulatory, resilience, and technology requirements into practical cloud and AI solutions.
My work focuses on building trusted platforms across public cloud, private cloud, hybrid, multicloud, edge, and disconnected environments.
- Microsoft Sovereign Cloud
- Sovereign Public and Private Cloud
- Azure Local and Azure Arc
- Sovereign AI and Foundry Local
- Hybrid, multicloud, and edge architectures
- Business continuity and digital resilience
- Confidential computing and platform security
- Kubernetes and application portability
- Infrastructure as code and automation
I work with customers, partners, engineering teams, and technical communities across EMEA. My goal is to make complex technology understandable, actionable, and useful in real-world environments.
Here on GitHub, I share and contribute to:
- Reference architectures and technical guidance
- Hands-on workshops and MicroHacks
- Infrastructure-as-code examples
- Demos and deployment resources
- Hybrid and sovereign cloud patterns
- Azure Local and Azure Arc content
- Community projects and learning resources
I am currently exploring how organizations can:
- Maintain control over data, operations, and infrastructure
- Run critical workloads in connected or disconnected environments
- Build and operate AI on customer-controlled infrastructure
- Improve workload and application portability
- Design resilient platforms across cloud, datacenter, and edge
- Apply consistent governance and automation across distributed environments
I regularly speak at Microsoft, partner, and community events about sovereign cloud, Azure Local, hybrid cloud, resilience, security, and AI.
I also create technical articles, videos, workshops, and demos to help architects, engineers, and technology leaders apply these concepts in practice.
Before my current role, I worked across Microsoft engineering, customer engagement, cloud advocacy, architecture, and community enablement.
From 2012 to 2019, I received the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional award for my work in Microsoft Azure, cloud computing, virtualization, and datacenter management.
I believe the future of cloud is not defined by a single location. It is built on choice, control, resilience, and the ability to run applications and AI where they make the most sense.
