About Daniel Boring
Enterprise Architect with over 20 years of experience designing, migrating, and deploying impactful solutions across private and public cloud environments. Recognized for combining deep technical expertise with strong business acumen to drive strategic decision-making. Confident, charismatic presenter and storyteller who thrives on the “people side” of IT - translating between executive vision and engineering execution with clarity and purpose. Known for leading complex, opinionated discussions into data-driven, actionable outcomes while fostering collaboration and innovation. Passionate about lifelong learning, solving problems creatively, and exploring the “art of possible” to use technology as a true business accelerator. Brings both depth and breadth of experience across enterprise domains, with a strong focus on people, process, and technology alignment.Outside of work, I’m a passionate technologist and lifelong learner who enjoys tinkering with my 3D printer, maintaining a home lab, and blogging about hands-on projects at VirtuallyBoring.com. Whether experimenting with new platforms, automating workflows, or exploring the latest tech trends, I find energy and creativity in using technology not just as a profession, but as a hobby. I also love all things Star Wars — from Old Republic era to the deeper lessons of the Jedi!Specialties:Enterprise Architecture • Cloud Solution Architecture • IT Strategy & Road mapping • Infrastructure Modernization • Multi-Cloud Strategy • Cloud Migration & Adoption • VDI • Data Center Strategy • Workload Placement • Disaster Recovery • Architecture Review Board Facilitation • Stakeholder Engagement • People-Process-Technology Alignment • Innovation & Thought Leadership • Technical StorytellingTechnologies:Azure Landing Zones • Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) • Windows 365 Cloud PC • Azure Container Apps • Azure Virtual WAN • Azure Migrate • Azure Entra ID • Microsoft Azure • AWS • VMware vSphere • VMware Horizon View • Citrix VDI • Cisco UCS • HPE BladeCenter • Pure Storage • NetApp • Dell EqualLogic • Zerto • Site Recovery Manager • FlashStack Architecture • Microsoft Windows Server • PowerShell
