🔍 Obsessed with troubleshooting, Data, Logs, Cloud Computing and lately context engineering 🌐 sirmon.ai | 🎥 theSharkArtist.com

With 20+ years at Microsoft and some time at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, startups, I specialize in mission-critical escalations, AI development, data, logs, traces, and exceeding the speed of relevancy. I'm currently building tools that bridge the gap between support engineering and generative AI using intelligent memory, Kusto analytics, and real-time ingestion telemetry.

• Support Context Protocol (SCP) — In-memory, structured case management for triage agents
• clearcouncil — Civic meeting summarization and vote extraction using LLM + RAG
• localops-tools — Scripts and tools for AMA diagnostics, ingestion validation, and workflows
• 🧠 Azure Monitor Copilot v1 — Creator of the original RAG-based AMA copilot using internal troubleshooting guides and markdown

• 👨‍💻 Creator of Azure Monitor Copilot v1: First working RAG-based copilot at Microsoft for AMA troubleshooting using TSGs and internal guidance
• 4x Microsoft roles across Support, Engineering, PM, and Escalation
• Co-creator: Analysis Services Maestros Program
• Lead architect on 1st Pivotal Cloud Foundry deployment in Azure China
• Frequent speaker on Big Data, Power BI, Cloud AI Architecture
• Author of numerous whitepapers on Tabular Models, NUMA affinity, SSAS performance

When I'm not wrangling CRIs or orchestrating AI workflows, I'm carving giant sharks with chainsaws. No, really.
