About Cloud&Q

By day, I architect cloud infrastructure — Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, the whole stack. By night (and very early morning), I tend fire, cure meats, and push the limits of dry aging. Cloud&Q is where those worlds collide.

Whether I'm designing a zero-trust network or dialing in a 16-hour brisket cook, the principles are the same: patience, precision, and knowing when to leave things alone.
