Hi, I’m udon. This blog is where I write down what I learn from trying out the technology I use at work, studying for certifications, and attending meetups.
Why I write
Mostly to understand things better. Even with topics I’ve already researched, I keep finding that writing them down deepens my understanding. I want this blog to have some real chew to it, like good udon.
I also hope to give even a small boost to people working in the same field. Years ago there were plenty of blogs that started with “writing this down so I don’t forget,” and more than once I was rescued by some great predecessor whose name I never knew. This is partly my way of paying that back.
What I write about
- AI: using Copilot and Claude at work, and rolling them out
- Security: attack techniques, running AI agents safely, and designing defenses
- ServiceNow: running ServiceNow for ITSM and workflows
- Microsoft 365: admin center, Entra ID, Intune
- Learning: study logs and exam reports
- Career: working in enterprise IT, and thinking about a career
- Events: meetups, webinars and conferences
- Books: notes on tech and business books
- Automation: I’m lazy to the core, so I automate my work as thoroughly as I can, and I’ll share the know-how and methods
The “Now learning” section on the home page shows what I am studying and reading right now. One bowl at a time.
