Hello World! – Yes I went there…

Welcome to Raife Bytes: A Casual Tech Journey

Yo! Hello world, tech enthusiasts and digital wanderers! Welcome to an exciting corner of the world wide interweb known as Raife Bytes. I’m your friendly neighbourhood Solutions Architect and Digital Magician, and I’m thrilled to have you here for what promises (hopefully) to be a byte-sized adventure in the world of Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Azure.

A Bit About Me

So, who’s the rather handsome face behind these digital musings? Well, that would be yours truly, Gary Raife. By day, I’m a Solutions Architect navigating the complex terrains of technology across various industries. Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Azure are my technology playgrounds of choice where I’ve woven digital magic to address challenges and transform businesses big and small

Now, don’t let this serious-sounding title fool you. While I’ve toiled away in the digital trenches, my heart beats loudest for Healthcare. Picture this – delivering tech solutions right into the frontline of primary and secondary care. It’s not just a job; it’s a passion. Expect a sprinkle of healthcare wisdom in some of my articles because, hey, technology and health are the ultimate power couple!

Beyond the Tech Realm

Now believe it or not there is a world beyond the digital so let’s not get too bogged down in the ones and zeroes. In this magical realm outside of work, I’m a proud husband and father of two absolute live wire boys who constantly keep me on my toes and awake at hours of the night. Infact as I am literally writing this post I have a my two year clingbdmhf allw over they keybarbodf ……. hang on while I put another episode of Thomas the Tank on …..

So, Parenting is an absolute whirlwind rollercoaster ride, however I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When I am not run ragged by DS1 & DS2, I like to further my love-hate relationship with the gym. You see, I’m the type who’d rather lift weights go full on “Gym Bro” than endure the monotony of cardio. Give me a set of dumbbells any day, and I’m a happy camper. If you find joy in the gym, we’re kindred spirits. If not, join the club and we can grumble about it together.

If you speak to my trainer Jonny, he will attest to my grumpiness when it comes to cardio.. he’s also on the gram if you fancy some helpful fitness hints and tips

What to Expect

So, what can you anticipate on the wonderful digital platform that is Raife Bytes? Well it’s a rather curious blend of tech talk and laid-back banter. We will be diving into the nitty-gritty of Microsoft’s awesome offerings, but I promise to keep it as light as a feather. Expect articles that unwrap solutions, demystify tech jargon, and yes, throw in a sprinkle of humour because let’s face it, tech can be a serious business, but it doesn’t always have to feel that way.

Join the Bytes Community

So yes I’m not just here to spill my thoughts; I want to hear from you too. We all live in a digital community these days, where we can easily share insights, solve tech puzzles, and perhaps share a chuckle or two. The comment section is your playground—dive in…. just be nice no one likes a dickhead

So, whether you’re a seasoned tech wizard delivering magic ever day or just dipping your toes into the vast digital ocean, welcome to Raife Bytes.

Buckle up for a journey filled with insights, bytes of brilliance, and maybe a few dad jokes along the way.

Cheers to the tech journey ahead!

Gary
