Julie Ng
👋 I'm an Engineer at Microsoft, Architect, Speaker and Designer. I specialize in cloud architectures and CI/CD automation. I use a Mac, write Node.js, some Ruby and love Open Source Software.
I've been building for the web since 1999 and like many people, I am self taught. I'm making the videos I needed when I was learning these topics. No hello worlds. Here I'll share real world problems with real world solutions, explaining challenges, trade-offs, as well as tips and best practices.
Also I'm starting this because we're in lockdown across the world. I miss the creative energy of conferences and user groups. So until then, I am pouring that energy into these videos, which lets me be creative (and my authentic sassy self), not just a technical expert.
Thoughts and opinions are my own. Videos are not official Microsoft recommendations or reference architectures.
