About
Two decades between hardware and the cloud
20+ years of experience — from real-time embedded programming to large-scale Azure IoT platforms. Technologies and domains I've worked across:
Technologies
Business domains
Certifications
Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate.
Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate.
Services
Engagement Models
I do what the system actually needs right now — concept work, reviving what already exists, feasibility analysis, integrations, and modernization.
Cloud Platforms
Design, development, environments. Infrastructure and automation. Cost and reliability trade-offs.
Architecture
Technology choices, architecture, component boundaries, and data flows for new, growing, or expanding systems.
Hybrid Solutions: Cloud + Edge/On-Premise
Resource-constrained devices and distributed information systems.
Prototyping & R&D
We try, we test, before we launch. Collaboration and partnership.
Azure Foundry: AI & RAG Implementation
AI agents and RAG solutions built on Azure Foundry. Answers and automated decisions are grounded in your own data and style.
Integrations
Got a working solution that's no longer enough on its own? I integrate and automate.
Technical Leadership
Technical lead or architect role for a defined period — advising, decisions, mentoring, and delivery.
Your IT Lead
Strategic approach. Hands-on leadership.
Azure, Microsoft Foundry, AI
Microsoft AI Cloud Partner & reseller
Mefis is a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner and licensed reseller, on top of hands-on experience working on the Azure platform. Cloud-native solutions and integrations in the cloud. New opportunities for adopting AI and RAG solutions through Azure Foundry.
Maintenance
Ongoing maintenance for existing systems: fixes, updates, and keeping the platform healthy.
Management
Management of Azure environments and the systems running on them — monitoring, security, and cost optimization opportunities.
Development
Continued development and integrations for existing Azure/Microsoft-stack systems.
Cost Optimization
Azure cost review and analysis.
Expertise
What actually matters…
Software Solutions on Cloud Platforms
Platform architecture and infrastructure design for cloud environments: topology, scalability, cost control, and deployment automation are design decisions.
Architecture & Programming
Coding is increasingly becoming the job of AI and machines. The one accountable is still the human. I orchestrate, break down, define, scope, demand, verify, and ultimately take responsibility for the working solution.
Software for Hardware
We put electronics and machines to work in the real world.
Hybrid Software Solutions
Designing systems that bring distributed devices and multiple integrated solutions together into one coherent whole.
Approach
Engineering practice. AI, naturally.
I take a pragmatic approach to everything. I do what's necessary.
-
01
Keep it simple
No need for excess complexity. Break it down. Avoid needless complication.
-
02
IT serves the business
Skip the unnecessary software polish. The investment has to pay for itself.
-
03
AI is a tool
I apply AI where it actually creates value.
-
04
Incrementally, continuously
Break it down. Move forward step by step with the end goal in mind. Don't forget to dream a little at the start.

05
Questions first
.. then we choose the solution path
