About Me

I am a Cloud Engineer with 16+ years of experience in server and application administration. I have worked across various industries including government, non-profit, and Fortune 500 companies.

In my career, I have managed a wide range of technologies in various capacities including Azure, Windows Server, automation, serverless, and PowerShell scripting.

I currently specialize in Microsoft 365, Azure, and PowerShell. I’ve authored several courses covering Azure and Microsoft Teams and am an avid blogger at JeffBrown.tech.

I built this page as a part of the Cloud Guru Azure Resume Challenge. You can read more about how I built this page in Tackling the Azure Cloud Resume Challenge.
