Summary
Andy Ball is a seasoned Azure-focused consultant with 10+ years delivering cloud, DevOps and platform engineering across financial services and large enterprises in the UK. He blends hands-on Terraform, PowerShell and CI/CD engineering with architecture-level work on Azure Enterprise Scale landing zones, policies and network/firewall design, often producing custom automation, KQL analytics and cost-saving tooling. Comfortable moving between CxO-facing design workshops and 3rd-line operational troubleshooting, he has a track record of migrating complex estates, enabling governance, and prototyping FinOps solutions. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, test-driven modules and inventive diagnostics (for example PowerShell “what if” simulators and KQL joins to validate firewall migrations). Away from the keyboard he’s ridden across Europe on sabbatical, a hint of his practical persistence and curiosity that shows up in mentoring and continual language/tool evolution.
