I have taken part in recent community evens including Azure Advent Calendar, Azure Spring Clean and the Azure Back to School initiative. Within the last 6 months I have started presenting at virtual events including the Leeds Azure User Group, the UK Windows Virtual Desktop User Group and the North East Azure User Group.

I will shortly be launching my own YouTube Channel - “I am IT Geek” where I will publishing a series of videos which will be “how to” based technical videos based on topics such as Multi-Factor Authentication and Identity Management to name a few.

Finally I am in the process of co-launching a new Cloud user group local to Bradford. More information to follow!
