I'm a Cloud & AI Solution Architect at Microsoft, passionate about cloud, AI and startups, focused on building scalable systems, exploring emerging tech and connecting with innovative founders.

  • πŸ€– Building the Agent Governance Toolkit: policy enforcement, zero-trust identity, execution sandboxing and reliability engineering for autonomous AI agents. Covers the full OWASP Agentic Top 10.
  • ☁️ Deep-diving into Microsoft AI Foundry: cross-region deployments, private endpoints and enterprise-grade landing zones.
  • 🌐 Designing AKS networking patterns: static egress gateways, per-namespace egress IPs, zero-trust east-west traffic.
  • βš™οΈ Benchmarking real-world Azure API Management architectures at scale.
