// about

Twenty-plus years building and shipping software in production, including cloud applications deployed across AWS, Azure, and Hetzner. End-to-end: features, APIs, and the cloud infrastructure they run on. Cloud architecture and development consulting via Nuforta. Off-screen: tinkering with microcontrollers, restoring vintage hardware, and losing weekends to woodworking and radio control.

// infrastructure

This website is part of a shared, serverless architecture built on Microsoft Azure. Each static site is hosted in Azure Blob Storage, with Bunny CDN pull zones handling global content delivery and caching.

All sites share a single Azure Function App to process form submissions. The function stores submissions in Azure Table Storage and sends email notifications through Azure Communication Services.

Azure Application Insights provides centralized monitoring of application performance, errors, and availability across the sites and their supporting Azure services.

Overengineered? Absolutely. But it works and it's fun to mess with.
