Hi, my name is Julie Ng and these are answers I common questions I receive via E-mail and on YouTube.
No. All thoughts and opinions are my own. The content on this website and in my newsletters and emails are not official Microsoft recommendations or reference architectures.
Why not? Because these are very opinionated recommendations based on my personal experience and unusual background: building for the web in the 1990s, working for startups, being failed entrepreneuer, and joining Allianz Germany as en enterprise architect mentoring hundreds of developers in our Agile Training Centers in Munich and Stuttgart.
No, I do not offer consulting. I am a full time employee at Microsoft and that would be a violation of my contract.
However, it is my job to help Microsoft customers with cloud architectures and DevOps. If you are a Microsoft Azure customer, you can apply for the FastTrack for Azure Program. If you qualify and get accepted, you will be assigned an engineer, which might or might not be me.
No, I do not offer any coaching or mentoring, even to students. It would be a violation of my contract.
However, you are welcome to watch my DevOps videos on YouTube and post your questions in the comments. I try to answer every comment.
