From running a sandwich shop to running cloud infrastructure. I do Azure, Terraform, security, CI/CD, and I build AI agents on the side because I can't sit still. Ex-Twitch streamer, current infrastructure nerd.

Azure FinOps Agent

2026

7 AI agents yelling at each other about your Azure bill. They find waste, calculate savings, and generate reports. Built on LangGraph because one agent wasn't chaotic enough.

Azure Cost Agent

2026

Points at your Azure resources and tells you which ones are burning money. Finds idle resources, orphaned disks, tag gaps with cost impact per finding. Built on Microsoft Agent Framework.

Agent Platform

2026

Drop an agent in, run uv sync, it discovers itself. Multi-agent platform for Azure AI Foundry with A2A and MCP. Sounds fancy, works simple.

Background

About Me

I didn't take the traditional IT route. I went from pouring beers to pouring over Terraform code. Turns out fixing infrastructure isn't that different from fixing a broken espresso machine - find the root cause, don't just restart it, and definitely don't blame the last person who touched it. I automate things because I'm too lazy to do the same thing twice, and I build AI agents because apparently that's what we do now.
