Hi, I’m Kumaran 👋
I’m a Cloud Solutions Architect based in Chicago who spends his days (and sometimes nights) designing, building, and securing solutions across the Microsoft cloud ecosystem.
I work at the crossroads of technology, problem-solving, and continuous learning—because in cloud architecture, no two days are the same. One moment I’m diagramming an elegant Azure landing zone; the next, I’m troubleshooting why something “that should just work” absolutely refuses to. (Spoiler: it’s always DNS… until it’s not.)
This blog is where I share the lessons, wins, and “facepalm moments” from real-world projects. Whether it’s a configuration quirk, a Power Platform governance tip, or a deep dive into identity security, I try to turn my daily cloud adventures into something useful—or at least entertaining—for fellow IT pros.
My expertise centers on Microsoft technologies—Azure, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Copilot—but I also speak fluent AWS, Citrix, and Infrastructure-as-Code when the project calls for it. I believe great architecture balances security, performance, and sanity (in that order).
Everything here comes from hands-on experience, not marketing slides. The views are entirely my own (and sometimes shared by my coffee).
The more I work in cloud, the more I realize: there’s always another layer to learn. And that’s exactly what keeps me curious and keeps this blog alive.
Cheers!
