Associate Systems Engineer working on Entra ID identity governance and Azure infrastructure, built secure by default and try to keep it simple.
I took the long way here. I started in psychology, worked in a research lab, and studied economics, with a minor in both. I joined IT support in 2021 and have kept learning my way into engineering ever since.

“It's not about how good anyone is. It's about how well you play together.”
Test, test, test.
Read the whole issue, question or prompt twice before starting.
Plan the way back before going forward.
Keep it simple, so the whole team can follow it.
Test from where the real thing runs, not just from my laptop.
Write a short design doc first, so everyone agrees on the approach.
Add logs and alerts at the start, not after something breaks.
Not everything needs to be code, as long as it's written down.
