Technical DevOps Lead · Azure Platform Engineering · AI-native Engineering

Platform engineer at SoftServe Poland — building and operating Azure platforms, automation, and developer productivity workflows. Exploring how AI-native systems and agents can be governed and operated on Azure — learning in public, not influencer positioning.

Foundation (earned):

• Azure Platform Engineering and landing zones
• DevOps, Terraform, and infrastructure as code
• Microsoft Entra, CI/CD, and developer productivity

Growth (learning in public):

• Operating AI workloads on Azure — platform patterns first, agents and MCP as workloads
• Azure AI Platform Labs — small shippable labs, not a monolith

Implementation stories from real projects — not news recaps or prompt tutorials:

• Platform engineering for AI-native systems on Azure
• Landing zones, identity, and IaC
• Terraform and Azure AI Foundry (where it fits the platform story)
• AI-assisted software delivery and engineering automation
