About

I'm Babafemi.

Senior Cloud & DevOps Engineer, Microsoft MVP, and Azure Community Champion. I help engineering teams ship secure, scalable Azure platforms and I teach what I learn on YouTube and live bootcamps.

I'm a Senior Cloud & DevOps Engineer working on Cloud platforms, a Microsoft MVP, and an Azure Community champion. My day job at revolves around designing identity, security, and delivery practices that hold up at enterprise scale and my evenings revolve around teaching what I learn.

I run TechTalk with Babafemi on YouTube, where I publish free tutorials on Azure, DevOps, security, and AI. I also run live cohort-based bootcamps for engineers preparing for the AZ-900, AZ-104, and AZ-500 certifications, plus deep dives on Azure DevOps, GitHub, Cybersecurity, and Azure AI.

What I focus on

Identity is the new perimeter, delivery pipelines are the new attack surface, and AI is rapidly becoming the new application layer. Most of my writing and teaching sits at those intersections how to do Entra ID well, how to ship secure pipelines with Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, and how to integrate AI into real products without compromising on governance or cost.

How I can help

I work with teams as a trainer, advisor, and occasional implementer. If your team is rolling out Entra ID, modernizing CI/CD with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, hardening Azure security posture, or starting on Azure AI, get in touch.

I also volunteer as a moderator on Microsoft Q&A, so if you've got a stuck Azure question, that's another place you might bump into me.
