ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Bob Larking and this is my CV in the cloud. It showcases the use of Azure Blob storage (for hosting), Azure CDN (for https and the use of a custom domain), Azure Functions and Cosmos DB (for the visitor counter) and Github (for CI/CD).

I am currently an IT Service Desk Technician with coming up to 2 years of experience, with a keen interest in cybersecurity and the cloud. I've supplemented my daily work with projects which focus on these.

Many thanks to Gwyn Peña-Siguenza for sharing her Cloud Resume challenge.
