Discover how to build a private, enterprise-grade ChatGPT service using Azure OpenAI without writing any custom code. I will walk you through the key differences between OpenAI and Azure OpenAI, guide you through the access request process, and show you exactly how to provision the necessary resources in the Azure portal.

Discover how I built a custom Android app using Xamarin.Forms and C# to monitor my hardware cabinet's temperature directly from Azure. This project evolved from a need to access real-time data on my mobile device while enjoying the Finnish summer, offering a practical learning experience in cross-platform development.

I share my journey of upgrading a home office temperature monitoring system by replacing an unattractive Raspberry Pi LED display with a sleek Universal Windows Platform application. This post details how I leverage Microsoft Azure services, including IoT Hub and Functions, to collect sensor data and present it through a custom desktop interface that runs discreetly in the Windows System Tray.

Curious about leveraging Azure Communication Services, I attempted to build a custom communication tool but encountered regional restrictions on phone-based features. Consequently, I pivoted to developing a chat application, which I detail in this post to demonstrate the service's capabilities within the current preview limitations.

In this post, I share my experience building and deploying a custom .NET Core API as a Docker container on Azure App Service to demonstrate the simplicity of this approach. I walk through the essential steps of setting up Azure resources via the CLI, including creating a resource group, container registry, and Linux-based web app, while also covering authentication methods for deploying your image.
