This channel focuses on videos designed to help you learn. Big focus on Azure, AI, DevOps, PowerShell and other Microsoft technologies but also some virtual mentoring content! Thanks for visiting! Please note this channel is my hobby and completely unrelated to my day job at Microsoft. π€ Also note due to the channel growth and number of people wanting help I no longer can answer or even read questions and they will just stay in the moderation queue never to be seen so please post questions to other sites like Reddit, Microsoft Community Hub etc.
