Hi, I’m Annemarie Merchant — a Cloud-Certified, award-winning technology professional with a passion for Data, AI, and empowering others through innovation and education. With over a decade of experience spanning cloud architecture, digital transformation, and technical consulting, I specialize in designing and delivering scalable, secure, and intelligent solutions using Microsoft Azure and modern data platforms.

​

Currently, I serve as an Azure Technical Solutions Executive at Insight, where I help organizations unlock the full potential of their data through Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse Analytics, Power BI, and more. My journey has taken me through growth roles at Accenture, SHI, and Tech Data (now TD Synnex), where I’ve driven regional growth, trained high-performing teams, and enabled clients to thrive in the cloud.

​

As a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) and lifelong learner, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge, mentoring future technologists, and advocating for women in tech. I have an MBA in Data Analytics and multiple cloud certifications across Azure, AWS, and overall cloud technologies.

​

This blog is where I share insights, tutorials, and real-world experiences in cloud computing, data engineering, AI, and coding — all with the goal of making complex technology approachable and actionable.​
