Cloud Architect & Consultant, Tech Enthusiast, and Lifelong Learner based in Spain.
I work at the intersection of cloud architecture and knowledge sharing, drawing on a background in sound engineering, language teaching and inclusive education — combining problem-solving with collaboration and empathy to build tools and resources that help people learn and grow.
- Cloud Solution Architecture — Advising clients on building resilient, cost-efficient, and well-governed environments, aligned with the Azure Well-Architected and Cloud Adoption Frameworks

- Certification & Exam Prep — Creating structured study materials for professional certifications
My personal hub is available at marcogrimaldi29.com — it serves as the central gateway to all my study notes, certification reviews, and published content. The latest certification reviews are published directly within the site/repo, while study notes have been built on their own dedicated GitHub repositories, which are listed below. Beyond certifications, the hub also features my projects, curated resources, CV, and about page.
Most of my public repositories are open study notes for Microsoft and IT-related certifications, alongside deep dives into topics that are core to my work:
