Hi, my name is Stuart Leaver and I live near London England.

I am a passionate developer with 20+ years of experience in Microsoft Technologies. My first job involved developing an MS Access database, through to the current day where I am developing in C# and in Azure. One of the biggest projects I have worked on was the monitoring of Transport for London’s front office devices for their Oyster & Contactless systems. This consisted of close to 100,000 devices sending in total, around 12-15 million messages per day.

My main areas of interest are Azure and DevOps and these are where I am most passionate. Why manually carry out tasks if you can automate them, right. I am currently a Microsoft Certified Azure Developer Associate and am looking at taking the DevOps exam as well. In Azure, you will mostly find me around the serverless technologies such as Functions and Logic Apps. Maybe a bit of Cosmos DB as well.

My GitHub profile is stuartleaver and you can find me on Twitter as well at @stuartleaveruk.

When I am not writing code, I’ll either be running, trying to get better at Chess or watching Netflix.
