Hi Tech Community! I’m Zainab, currently based in Abu Dhabi and serving as Vice President of Finance & HR at Hoddz Trends LLC a global tech solutions company headquartered in Arkansas, USA. While I lead on strategy, people, and financials, I also roll up my sleeves when it comes to tech innovation. In this discussion, I want to explore the real-world challenges of scaling systems with Microsoft Azure. From choosing the right architecture to optimizing performance and cost, I’ll be sharing insights drawn from experience and I’d love to hear yours too. Whether you're building from scratch, migrating legacy systems, or refining deployments, let’s talk about what actually works.
Former Employer Abuse
My former employer, Albert Williams, president of American Security Force Inc., keeps adding my outlook accounts, computers and mobile devices to the company's azure cloud even though I left the company more than a year ago.

As I searched for a stencil set to create an infographic on Azure AI services (Cognitive Services & Bot Framework), I couldn't find anything. So I decided to create this Visio stencil set on my own. If you are interested, please visit https://www.cloudguy.pro/cognitive-services-bot-framework-visio-stencils/ to download the shapes. I would be glad if anyone of you could spread the word in order to see a lot of awesome AI infographics with the official icons in the future :) If you have any questions or improvement suggestions please contact me so that I can include those suggestions in my next versions.
