Completed AZ-204 and AZ-400 Azure certifications. Shared 350-question prep sets on GitHub. Integrated Azure API Management into the WTF Model project to improve backend abstraction and security. APIM now manages Azure Functions with proper CORS and auth headers.

Upgraded to a modern Intel x64 workstation for AI and video work. Reorganized network: WiFi split by band, OpenWRT set to AP mode, 19" rack now runs DNS, Pi-hole, Chrony, and SMB. Parsec enables single-monitor remote access. Setup is faster, cleaner, and ad-free network-wide.

Completed Azure's AI-900, DP-900, and SC-900 certifications after years of hands-on use. GPT-4o helped deepen service knowledge like Purview, Intune, CosmosDB, etc. Refuse to pursue further certs due to 12-month recert rules. WTF model release coming in 2024.

Learned TypeScript via Boris Cherny’s O'Reilly book and W3Schools cert, passing with 90%+. Integrated TS into the WTF model for settings and globals, though full migration is postponed. Strong typing will benefit the project long term; initial forced migration attempt failed.

Completed ISO 20000 Foundation cert after ISO 27001. Revisited ITSM concepts like Service Design and Change Management. Gained insight into Annex SL structure shared across ISO standards. Passed with 90%+. Certification complements prior ITIL and ops experience well.

Completed ISO/IEC 27001:2022 cert after a short industry project. Gained clarity on how risks, controls, and policies align in ISMS. Studied ~20 hours, passed with 95%. Annex A, CIA triad, and Statement of Applicability were key insights. Recommended for IT governance basics.

Redesigned home network with 3 subnets: main, WiFi (with RADIUS), and smart devices. Added 10G/2.5G switch, moved to fiber (10Gtek AOC), and cleaned up static IPs, routes, and .lan DNS. Dropped IPv6. Total cost under €150. Setup is now simpler, faster, and well-structured.

Announced my new blog focused on the WTF-Model—also known as the Lightweight Theory of Everything. Introduced a three-stage explanation approach: 10 seconds, 2 minutes, and 15 minutes, aiming to simplify and communicate the core structure and function of the model.
