Hi, I’m Simon – a cloud engineer living in Switzerland 🇨🇭 with a passion for automation, efficiency, and building real-world solutions. My work focuses on the Microsoft Azure Cloud – helping teams deploy faster, manage infrastructure more reliably, and reduce unnecessary cloud costs.
This blog is my space to share what I learn, build, and automate. You’ll find hands-on tutorials, infrastructure-as-code examples, helpful scripts, and technical insights based on real experience. Whether you’re just getting started or deep into cloud engineering, I hope you’ll find something useful here.
Let’s improve your cloud experience – one post at a time.
