I used to be a .NET developer. Nowaways, I am a DevOps solutions architect with a focus on Azure and Kubernetes.

I also love productivity topics, especially when it comes to doing more with less of my time. I'm also a daddy, so time is a limited resource for me.

Recently, I finally got around to using VS Code more in my day to day. As of right now, I’m currently using it to write up this blog post using Jekyll and Markdown.
