Aidan Finn
Founder · Principal Consultant
Aidan founded Cloud Mechanix. He has spent 30 years in enterprise IT and the last 19 as a Microsoft MVP for Azure. He has written 5 technical books, delivers Azure training, and speaks at conferences across Europe and the US.
His work centres on Azure — Zero Trust security, networking and Azure Firewall, landing zones, governance, migration, and the operations and disaster recovery that keep it running. The approach behind it is simple: understand a problem deeply enough to keep the solution simple. Simple, well-understood designs, built to best practice, are the ones that stay reliable, secure and scalable — and the ones your team can take ownership of.
So everything is built as code, with guardrails from day one and an operating model your own people can run. On an engagement you get an architect who has done this before — and a proper handover, not a six-month project and a team you have to train.
