I like to

I am a professional with a passion for solving complex problems. I specialize in automating infrastructure, continuous integration, and system monitoring. Proficient in networking, Linux, Python, and cybersecurity, I design and implement secure, scalable IT solutions that optimize operations and drive efficiency. Passionate about solving complex challenges in cloud environments, I am eager to leverage my skills in collaborative projects that foster innovation and growth. Outside of work, I stay focused through kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and cycling, while exploring new technologies through amateur radio and homelab projects. This blend of professional focus and personal curiosity keeps me on the cutting edge of technology and innovation.

Project Overview

Azure Nuke is a CLI tool I developed to manage and clean up Azure cloud resources efficiently. The tool helps organizations scan for unused resources, enforce tagging policies, and safely delete resources that are no longer needed, reducing cloud costs and improving security posture.

Features

  • Comprehensive scanning of Azure resources across subscriptions
  • Safe deletion with confirmation prompts and dry-run mode
  • Flexible filtering by resource type, region, and more
  • Exclusion system to protect critical infrastructure
  • Color-coded output for easy identification of actions and results

Technologies Used

Python Azure SDK Azure CLI Docker GitHub Actions

Implementation Details

Implemented the tool using Python with the Azure SDK for comprehensive resource management. Created a configuration system that supports YAML-based exclusion rules to protect critical infrastructure. Designed the CLI interface to be intuitive with command groups for scanning and deletion operations.

# Example usage:
aznuke scan --profile production --region westus2
aznuke delete --checks storage,virtualmachines --dry-run

Homelab Environment

Project Overview

A personal infrastructure project designed to deepen hands-on experience in virtualization, containerization, IAM, and self-hosting open-source applications.
