Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChad Schultz is a Sr. Cloud Solution Architect based in Chicago with nine years focused on cloud practice and a long background in Windows systems and enterprise support at Microsoft. He combines deep Azure expertise—cost optimization for VMs and scale sets, networking, storage diagnostics, automation with PowerShell and Python, and resilience patterns—with low-level Windows internals and performance troubleshooting. His career progression from SharePoint support and premier field engineering to senior cloud architect roles reflects hands-on problem solving for large customers and complex production environments. Chad is skilled at translating operational telemetry (WPT/Xperf/Perfmon) into actionable architectural improvements and using Azure Automation and Blueprints to codify best practices. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, cost-conscious designs that prioritize health, availability, and recoverability. Outside the obvious cloud credentials, he brings a rare blend of OS internals knowledge that helps bridge application behavior and infrastructure tuning.
