I’ve been in IT for over 20 years. Started in 2001, fixing printers and managing Citrix environments that nobody fully understood, including the people who built them. Spent the next decade going deeper into virtual desktops, workspace management, and PowerShell scripts that kept breaking in creative new ways.

Then somewhere around 2019 I properly crossed over into DevOps. Terraform, Azure Pipelines, containers, the whole thing. And now here in 2026 I work as a DevOps Engineer delivering automated virtual workspace platforms at Nationale-Nederlanden, while trying to make sense of what AI is actually doing to this industry.

That last part is why I’m writing this.

I’ve never been much of a blogger. Writing felt like work I wasn’t being paid for. But the AI thing broke that logic, because everything is moving so fast that the only way I can keep up with what I’m learning is to write it down. And if I’m writing it anyway, I might as well share it.

So that’s the deal here. I’m a practitioner, not an influencer. I write about things I’ve used and the problems that came with them. If something doesn’t work, I’ll say so. If I’m not sure yet, I’ll say that too.

What you’ll find here:

AI that goes beyond chatbots: real integrations, agents, and local models that do actual work. DevOps and Azure content from someone who lives in Azure DevOps pipelines daily. Automation, PowerShell, cloud architecture, and virtual desktop environments. The good, the weird, and the occasionally baffling.

If that sounds useful, stick around. There’s a lot I want to write about.
