I'm a technology leader with a long track record of applying technology to real problems, across platforms, products, and the teams that build them. I work at Microsoft in a senior technical leadership capacity, and before that I spent years at Avanade leading engineering teams through some genuinely complex platform and cloud challenges.
My interest has always been in the full picture, from architecture and platform decisions down to the code and configuration that makes them real. I care about outcomes, not just outputs, and about building teams that can deliver and keep delivering. Investing in early talent and apprenticeships has been a consistent thread throughout my career, because the best engineering cultures are ones you build deliberately.

About this blog
ducksource.blog is where I write about technology I actually use and decisions I've actually made. You won't find marketing fluff or surface-level takes here. What you'll find are honest write-ups on platform thinking, applied AI, engineering trade-offs, and the messy reality of building and running things at scale.
Some of it comes from lab work, some from production, and some from hard-won experience. All of it is honest.
