My name is Joao Paulo Costa, originally from Brazil and now based in the United Kingdom. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology and bring over 18 years of professional experience in IT infrastructure and cloud technologies.
I began my career in 2007 as an intern in a major Brazilian energy company with more than 5,000 employees, where I quickly developed a strong focus on Microsoft technologies. Over the years, I have specialised in Microsoft solutions such as Azure, Microsoft 365, Windows Server, Exchange Server, Intune. I also work extensively with automation and Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, PowerShell, and Azure CLI, alongside DevOps practices such as CI/CD pipelines and GitHub Actions.
Since moving to the UK in 2019, I have been working as a Cloud Engineer in a multinational organisation. My current focus is on Azure cloud architecture, automation, DevOps practices, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep), PowerShell scripting, and process optimisation.
Beyond my professional role, I am passionate about giving back to the community. Through this blog, I share step-by-step tutorials, real-world scenarios, and best practices on Azure to help IT professionals and organisations adopt Azure technologies more effectively. My goal is to make complex technical topics more accessible and to inspire others to explore automation, DevOps, and cloud innovation.
