Certifications

Shown honestly, in order. Each one unlocked by real lab work first, never booked ahead of the practical proof.

Microsoft certification path

The direction

AZ-104Azure Administrator Associate

The working vocabulary everything else depends on. Resource structure, permissions, networking, compute, storage, and governance.

In progress
SC-300Identity and Access Administrator

Identity is the real perimeter of a hybrid organisation. Also a required step before SC-100 below.

Planned
SC-500Cloud and AI Security Engineer Associate

Hands on security engineering across Defender, Sentinel, and Key Vault. The current replacement for the retiring AZ-500, not a risk.

Planned
AZ-305Azure Solutions Architect Expert

The shift from administering environments to designing them, covering landing zones, cost, and high availability.

Planned
SC-100Cybersecurity Architect Expert

The final credential in this path, proving security architecture can be designed from business risk, not just implemented from a checklist.
