Architecture & delivery

Agentic Web — Skills, MCP, and the New Operator Loop

Microsoft Build 2026 reframes the agentic web around a practical loop: the user states intent, the agent selects a reusable skill, MCP exposes a trustworthy tool surface, an action is proposed, and the operator…

Architecture Studio — C4, ADRs, and Diagrams as Code

The Microsoft Build 2026 refresh positions the Architecture Studio as a practical engineering surface for communicating cloud architecture. The SPA renders an interactive C4 model, lets viewers drill from system…

CAF Naming — The Convention That Scales

The Microsoft Build 2026 refresh turns the CAF matcher from a simple puzzle explainer into a governance article about naming that scales. The SPA teaches the same muscle memory platform teams need in production:…

Copilot-Ops Console — Where AI Meets the Ticket

The Copilot-Ops Console is a portfolio demo of an AI-assisted operations desk where the operator does not ask a chatbot what to do next; they orchestrate a disciplined work system. Six ticket lanes, composable…

Engineering delivery architecture

The complete supplied specification for independent repositories, shared CI, immutable delivery, Bicep, OIDC and independently governed ATDD.

Infrastructure as Code — AVM, OIDC, and Deployment Stacks

Microsoft Build 2026 refresh of the IaC pipeline behind the SPA: a trunk-based GitHub Actions path where Bicep composes Azure Verified Modules, authenticates through OIDC federated identity, deploys with Azure…

Platform Engineering Console — Self-Service Provisioning

The Microsoft Build 2026 refresh reframes the console as a self-service provisioning surface for Microsoft Fabric workspaces. The SPA demonstrates how an infrastructure team can offer safe paved roads: workspace…

Workflow Toolkit — File-Driven AI Ops

File-driven operations beat yet another SaaS dashboard because the operator keeps ownership of the truth: tickets, time, follow-ups, approvals, and standup notes are durable markdown files that can be searched,…

Cloud & operations

Azure Policy at Scale — Modify, Audit, Deny, Remediate

The Microsoft Build 2026 refresh frames the SPA as an Azure governance operations dashboard. It shows how a platform team manages 29 active assignments across modify, audit, deny, and DeployIfNotExists effects; uses…

Fabric Capacity Tuner — Size F-SKUs, Tame 430s

Microsoft Fabric capacity sizing is a balancing act between cost, concurrency, and throttling risk. The Fabric Capacity Tuner demo turns that tradeoff into a live model: choose an F-SKU, select the mix of…

Fabric Medallion Pipeline — Microsoft Build 2026

This Microsoft Build 2026 refresh explains the SPA as a production-style Microsoft Fabric medallion architecture: raw events or files enter Bronze, PySpark notebooks cleanse and conform them in Silver, and Gold Delta…

Incident Triage: AD, GPO, DNS & SQL/VM

A sub-5-minute incident-response playbook spanning the on-prem identity layer and the VM/SQL Server layer: how to triage a GPO that isn't applying, a hostname resolving to two different IPs, a cross-forest delegation…

M365 Administration — JML, Access Packages, and Copilot Governance

The Microsoft Build 2026 refresh turns the M365 administration demo into a governance operating model for the M365 tenant. The SPA shows how Entra lifecycle workflows, access packages, Intune compliance, PIM…

Pricing & Cost Optimizer — Fabric, AI Foundry, and Commitment Terms

The Microsoft Build 2026 refresh turns the demo into a FinOps planning surface for Azure, Microsoft Fabric, and AI Foundry. The SPA now compares six SKU categories, applies commitment-term discounts per eligible SKU,…

Real-Time Log Pipeline — Event Hub to Eventhouse KQL

Microsoft Build 2026 portfolio deep dive for a real-time security and application log pipeline. The SPA shows the operational path: emit structured events, buffer them through Azure Event Hubs, route them with…

Working examples

🌀 Particle Storm — Rust + WASM

JavaScript is fast, but for tight inner loops updating thousands of particles per frame, Rust's zero-cost abstractions and LLVM-optimized WASM output provide measurably smoother animation. The particle update loop…

🔮 Raytracer — Rust + WASM

For each pixel, a ray is cast from the camera through the image plane into the scene. The ray tests intersection against every sphere. At the hit point, we compute lighting (diffuse + specular) from two point lights,…

🚁 Choplifter — Rescue Mission

TL;DR: A homage to the classic 1982 Choplifter by Broderbund. Fly your helicopter into enemy territory, land near buildings to rescue hostages, and fly them back to base — while dodging tanks and jets. Built in…

ClojureScript REPL Playground

Live in-browser ClojureScript evaluation powered by SCI (Small Clojure Interpreter). No server is required; code is evaluated locally in the browser, examples are injected into the editor, and Ctrl+Enter runs forms…

Cloud Platformer — Navigating Azure Infrastructure

Retro 8-bit game where you collect Azure resource icons across cloud platforms. Under the hood it is a compact ClojureScript canvas game: a single atom holds world state, requestAnimationFrame drives updates, and a…

Space Invaders — Defending Against Misconfigurations

Classic space invaders reskinned with Azure security threats as enemies. The SPA turns governance failures into a readable threat catalog, then implements the game loop with a compact ClojureScript state machine:…

Tech Breakout — Smashing Through Azure Services

Brick-breaker where bricks are Azure services and the paddle stands in for a delivery pipeline keeping the platform alive. The implementation is a clean example of small-game physics in ClojureScript: explicit ball…

🧬 Game of Life — Rust + WASM

Each cell follows four simple rules:
