About

I'm Paul, a Solution Architect with over twenty years of experience across policing, insurance, healthcare, housing, and telecommunications. I specialise in Azure cloud architecture, Microsoft 365, Zero Trust, and identity governance, helping organisations modernise their infrastructure and adopt configuration-as-code practices.

Outside of work, I build and maintain a homelab running Proxmox, LXC containers, and a fleet of self-hosted services. This blog is where I document what I learn, both professionally and through tinkering at home.

Topics I write about include network architecture (VLANs, WireGuard VPN, policy-based routing), infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible), containerisation (Docker, LXC), monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus), and whatever else catches my interest.
