About

Hello everyone, I’m Luiz Macedo - a proud father, loving husband, and passionate tech and creative professional.

My day job? I’m a Senior Content Developer at Microsoft. My workdays are filled with problem-solving, innovating, and learning - activities I love and thrive in.

I started working in tech when I was just 15 years old, developing in VB6 and Delphi and administering the infrastructure environment for my high school. I’ve had many jobs as a developer, configuration manager, solution and software architect, and roles related to DevOps.

When I was 25, I joined Microsoft Brazil as a Premier Field Engineer. In 2018, I moved to Texas as a DevOps Support Engineer at Microsoft Corp. It was the company and country I’d always wanted. I was fortunate to work with brilliant people and helped our customers solve challenging problems with Azure DevOps, GitHub, and other Microsoft products. Today, I create educational content for Microsoft Learn and own the AZ-2008 (DevOps Foundations) and AZ-400 (Advanced) certifications content, along with other DevOps-related topics.

I like sharing what I know and what I’ve learned with others. That’s why I started this blog. Here, I write about DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, Cloud Computing, Development, career tips, and more. My goal is to help developers and professionals learn and grow.

When not studying, coding, or writing, I like playing video games, traveling, and watching Anime and TV Shows. My favorite shows are Breaking Bad, Stranger Things, and Lost. I enjoy reading books about fantasy, business, psychology, and science fiction. Read for 20 minutes daily, and you will see the power of consistency.

Fun fact: I once had a Twitch channel where I played games, and for every new follower I would loudly imitate a pig squealing. I also have a cartoon-style pig tattoo. Yes, I really like pigs.

My opinions are my own.

Thanks for reading about me. I hope you liked it and got to know me better.

Have a nice day!

Luiz
