Yves yves-steve

👋 Hi, I'm Yves Laingui

☎️ My GitHub username "Yves-Steve" is a play on words that originates from people mishearing my name on the phone, so I usually play along
🥩 Kudu is my favourite form of solid-state meat aka biltong (this might give you a clue as to where I originate from)
💼 I'm a recovering Exchange Engineer, thanks to Microsoft 😅 (They said "the cloud is the future" and here I am!)
👀 I'm interested in learning anything tech-related (if it has buttons, I'll click them)
🧠 I bought my gaming PC - and it rocks! (Intel who? 😏)
🌱 I'm currently learning Python scripting, Cloud Infrastructure (Azure, AWS, GCP) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
💼 Working with multi-cloud deployments and security best practices
☕ Powered by coffee and occasional Stack Overflow and GitHub panic searches
🐛 I don't always test my code, but when I do, I do it in production (just kidding... mostly)

Also semi-fluent in: Azure Identity, YAML debugging, JSON formatting, and deciphering Azure and AWS pricing 💸

A work-in-progress multi-cloud Infrastructure as Code repository featuring:

Teaching computers to follow rules so humans don't have to (and explaining cloud bills to management)

AI-powered bird monitoring with Raspberry Pi and AWS Rekognition:

Watching birds watch my birdhouse (with AI doing the actual watching) 🐦

My code is like my sense of humour: occasionally works, often needs debugging
I speak three languages: English, PowerShell, and Profanity (mostly when Terraform applies fail)
My tech relationship status: It's complicated just like Kubernetes.

Professional inquiries welcome. Cycling GIFs also accepted. 🚴

It's quiet here... (Translation: I keep saying I'll blog, but Netflix keeps suggesting "just one more episode")
