Archangel Flavio

My name is Flavio Meyer and I was born in Switzerland. I’m already 26 years old, and I can speak English and German fluently.

In my free time, I love being in nature. I enjoy cycling on my racing bike as a great change of pace in the summer, as well as hiking. In the winter, I love to ski. Additionally, I have a passion for traveling around the world.

In terms of my professional interests, I am particularly drawn to the technology sector. My specific focus lies in Microsoft Azure Infrastructure, Entra ID, Identity & Access Management, and Cloud Security. Additionally, I have knowledge in Exchange Online, Microsoft Defender for Office and Azure OpenAI. From my previous experience, I retain a strong understanding of on-premise client management, along with a foundational knowledge in on-premise infrastructure. I am focused on a “Cloud First” approach.

By applying my skills and interests in a practical manner, I am devoted to making meaningful and impactful contributions within the Microsoft community.

Archangel Michele

I’m Michele Blum. I was born in Switzerland and have both Swiss and Italian roots. I’m 25 years old, and I can speak English, German, and Italian fluently.

In my leisure time, I engage in activities that reflect my energetic and dynamic personality – gym, kickboxing, and exploring the adrenaline-pumping worlds of cars and motorcycles are a few of my passions.

When it comes to work, my interest lies deeply in tech. I’m particularly drawn to Azure Virtual Desktop, Entra ID, Identity & Access Management, Cloud Security, and Azure Automation with DevOps and Bicep. Additionally, I have expertise in Exchange Online, Exchange Online Protection, Microsoft Defender for Office, Microsoft Intune, and Azure compute and networking. My skills also extend to managing SQL databases and hybrid IT architectures. And yes, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I’ve heard a thing or two about on-premise infrastructures and can navigate them with ease.

Transforming my set of skills and interests into practical experiences, I’m committed to making valuable contributions in the Microsoft community.
