Hello World

About Me

Hi, I’m Pralaya — a Technical Consultant, working across Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, security automation, and PowerShell.

I run this homelab to test and document the kind of infrastructure I work with professionally — networking, virtualization, identity, and security — in a space where I can break things safely and write up what I learn.

And yes this summary was written by AI.
