Hi, I’m Dharanidharan Rajendran — most people call me Dharani.
I have 13 years of experience in virtualization and end-user computing, having spent most of my career working with Citrix, Windows Servers, VMware, and automation using PowerShell. Over the last two years, my focus has shifted completely to Azure Virtual Desktop and Azure fundamentals, and I’m now intentionally working toward becoming an Azure Solution Architect.
This blog is where I document that journey.
Not polished tutorials.
Not copied documentation.
But real Azure architecture learnings, hands-on labs, design decisions, and insights that only become clear when you actually build and break things.
I created this blog because I believe learning becomes more solid when it’s written down — clearly, honestly, and without pretending to know everything already. If you’re also working with Azure, AVD, or preparing yourself for solution-architect-level thinking, you’ll likely find something useful here.
A bit about me personally — I value calm thinking, clarity, and consistency. I take my work seriously, but not myself. You’ll occasionally see a lighter tone in my writing, but the intent will always stay practical and useful.
Everything on this blog is written by me, based on my own learning and experience.
If you’re here to learn, reflect, and improve — welcome.
We’re probably on a similar path.
