About

Hey! Thanks for visiting my little blog.

My name is Daniel Castillo, and I am a Systems Administrator/Engineer based in Canada. I am a digital nomad passionate about Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Windows Servers, VMware. My professional focus is primarily on projects related to Azure, where I bring a wealth of experience and enthusiasm. I have extensive hands-on experience with Azure, Microsoft 365, Citrix, VMWare and Windows Active Directory. I truly enjoy working with these technologies and exploring new and innovative solutions in the cloud infrastructure space.

2000 was the year I got my first computer for my Computer Science studies in College. Although I didn’t get my first job in information technology until $Y = 2007, prior to that, I been working as Computer Instructor at the university where I graduated. Because of this, I possess more than ( (Get-Date). Year - $Y) years of experience in information technology.

Outside of the office, I am a father of a beautiful daughter, a photographer, a trader, and a novice runner. In my free time, I love to watch technology videos, reading books, explore new places, and stay active by engaging in outdoor activities. I am a strong believer in the power of teamwork and collaboration, and I look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals who share my passion for technology.
