As an Innovation Engineer for Azure I've been successful in designing, implementing, and improving technical solutions to fulfill our organizational needs. My customers are both internal services delivery teams, pre-sales teams, business development teams, and services customers that consume Azure. Part of my innovation process is quickly learning new Azure resources, configuration, and services that are instrumental in supporting all types of environments. That process involves refining what solutions and services can solve complex business needs, while maintaining and improving critical metrics, like availability, resiliency, and costs. I help to develop the code, processes, documentation, and infrastructure to support public cloud innovation. Part of my collaborative efforts are also use to develop solution offers that can be repeatedly sold and delivered to customers. These offers are built using Azure standards and best practices, while providing a framework to adapt to specific business challenges. After solutions and processes are developed, I help to train and mentor technical and pre-sales teams to ensure success. Our organizations progress depends on improving these solutions and services to evolve and keep pace with speed of public cloud. While I evangelize Azure services throughout Softchoice, I also help to drive and renew our Azure Expert MSP certification processes and documentation.
