Tools and technologies I use to build intelligent automation solutions.

I'm often asked about the tech stack I use for enterprise automation and AIOps. Here's a comprehensive list of the tools, platforms, and technologies that power my work—from AI agent development to network automation.

AI & Automation Platforms

  • Microsoft Copilot Studio

    My primary platform for building AI agents. The visual workflow designer combined with natural language understanding makes it perfect for enterprise email automation and intelligent routing systems.

  • Power Automate

    Essential for workflow orchestration. I use it daily to integrate AI agents with Microsoft Graph API, Teams, and other enterprise systems. The connector ecosystem is unmatched.

  • Ansible Automation Platform (AAP)

    My go-to for infrastructure automation. I've built dozens of playbooks for network configuration, NAC deployment, and self-service automation portals. The Tower/AAP interface makes it accessible to operations teams.

  • Azure DevOps

    For CI/CD pipelines, project management, and version control. I use Azure Boards extensively to track automation projects and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Development & Scripting

  • Python

    My language of choice for automation. I leverage multithreading for large-scale network operations, async for API integrations, and libraries like Netmiko for network device automation. My NAC deployment script that saved 1,000+ hours was built entirely in Python.

  • PowerShell

    Critical for Windows automation and Active Directory operations. I use it for system administration tasks and integrating with Microsoft APIs.

  • Visual Studio Code

    My daily driver for coding. The Python and Ansible extensions, along with GitHub Copilot, make development incredibly efficient.

  • Git & GitHub

    Version control is non-negotiable. All my automation code lives in Git repositories, and I use GitHub Actions for testing and deployment workflows.

AIOps & Monitoring

  • Splunk

    Enterprise log aggregation and analysis. I build custom dashboards, alerts, and integrations that feed into our AIOps incident classification system.

  • Dynatrace

    Application performance monitoring with AI-powered insights. I use it for telemetry analysis and predictive analytics in our AIOps workflows.

  • Azure Monitor

    Cloud-native monitoring for Azure resources. Integrates seamlessly with Power Automate for automated incident response.

  • SolarWinds

    Network monitoring and configuration management. I've automated report generation and alert integration with our ticketing systems.

Network Infrastructure

  • Cisco Catalyst & Nexus Switches

    My foundation in network engineering. I've configured and managed hundreds of Catalyst 2900/4900/6500 and Nexus 9000 series switches in production environments.

  • Palo Alto Firewalls

    For enterprise security. I handle policy design, configuration, and automation of firewall rule deployments.

  • Cisco ISE (Identity Services Engine)

    Network Access Control platform. I've automated ISE policy deployment and integrated it with Active Directory for zero-trust network access.

  • Meraki & SD-WAN

    Cloud-managed networking. I use the Meraki API extensively for automated provisioning and monitoring.

Collaboration & Documentation

  • Microsoft Teams

    More than just chat—I integrate automation workflows that post notifications, alerts, and reports directly to Teams channels. It's become the central hub for operational awareness.

  • Jira

    Project and ticket tracking. I've built automations that create, update, and close Jira tickets based on incident classification from our AI agents.

  • Confluence

    Documentation platform. I maintain runbooks, architecture diagrams, and knowledge base articles that support automation initiatives.

  • Markdown

    All my documentation and README files are in Markdown. Clean, version-controllable, and universally compatible.

Cloud & APIs

  • Microsoft Graph API

    The backbone of my AI email assistant. I use it to read emails, classify incidents, route requests, and send automated responses.

  • Azure

    Cloud platform for hosting automation workflows, storing configurations, and running serverless functions. Currently pursuing AWS Associate certification to broaden cloud expertise.

  • REST APIs

    I work with REST APIs daily—from network device APIs to enterprise SaaS platforms. Postman is my go-to for testing and documentation.

  • JSON

    The lingua franca of modern APIs. I parse, manipulate, and generate JSON in nearly every automation project.
