I wanted to share a quick work update and also explain why I’ve been posting less frequently lately. Previously, I was on the Fast Track for Azure (FTA) team at Microsoft, part of the Customer Experience Program (CXP) within Azure Engineering (C+AI). In October, my team was reorganized and I was moved into the Azure Reliability (AzRel) group. I’m now part of the AzRel Risk SRE team, focusing specifically on risks related to Azure Platform Reliability. My new role brings with it a significantly different skill set and area of focus, requiring a deep dive into new concepts, tools, and approaches. I’ve been fully engaged in learning and adapting, and I’ve also been actively developing new applications and solutions to address challenges faced by my new team.

Two Incredible Years at Microsoft: A Journey of Growth, Connection, and Remote Collaboration # As I sit at my desk, keyboard beneath my fingertips, I’m reminded that it’s been two years since I first embarked on my journey with Microsoft. Joining during COVID meant that I did not get the onboarding experiences of a lot of Microsoft employees, a trip and onboarding in Redmond. Today, as I write this reflection, I’m filled with a mixture of nostalgia and pride over how much I, and the team I belong to, have grown-despite the miles that separate us.

I’m so excited to announce that I’m joining Microsoft! I’ll be joining the Fast Track for Azure - Apps team as a Senior Customer Engineer. My first day will be October 25th, the 20th anniversary of the release of Windows XP. It’s been quite a journey to get here.

Time to get back to it.
