Andreas has been working in different positions within enterprise during the last two decades. A few years ago his focus was on all things mobile, then it shifted towards building web systems. After that, the focus was on cloud solutions and planet-scale architecture. Nowadays it's producing customer value using AI, for real - not writing chatbots for everything.

Andreas is the AI architect at Voyado, one of Sweden's fastest-growing SAAS companies. In his spare time he spends time with his family, lifts things in the gym, and is involved in OSS as an Aurelia Core Team member.

How to Rock Your Frontend Apps with 10 Awesome CSS Features!

CSS has come a long way since the days of Bootstrap v1, but are you still stuck with the same old techniques and tools? Do you want to learn how to use the latest and coolest features that CSS has to offer, and blow your peers away with your awesome frontend skills?

In this talk, I will show you 10 CSS features that you probably didn’t know existed, but will change the way you code forever. You will learn how to use custom properties, grid layout, scroll snap, color functions, and more to create amazing layouts that will make your users go wow!

This talk is perfect for full-stack developers who have been too busy with customer code to update their CSS skills but want to catch up with the latest and best features that CSS has to offer.

Serverless Web - Azure Static Web Apps

Web site as a service, is more or less what Azure Static Web Apps is offering. With great developer ergonomics, speedy deploys and a stunning price point - it's a great offering for smaller projects.

Azure Static Web Apps is a service where you can host your static web sites, supporting sites produced in everything from plain HTML to Blazor to full fledged JavaScript frameworks such as Vue, React or Aurelia.

Join me as we dive into the features of the service, such as the CI/CD deployment with GitHub actions, creating an Azure Functions based api, securing routes with the built in Auth handling and setting up a custom domain.

Aurelia2 - Hyper-productivity for the web

Tired of fidgeting around with complex build systems. Tired of web frameworks forcing you to learn new proprietary syntax and complex make-up solutions to simple problems?
Then this session is for you! Join me and learn about how to become hyper-productive writing web apps with Aurelia 2.

We'll have a look at the new super simple routing, the standards-based syntax. I'll show how easy it is to extend your app with pages and components when the framework keeps out of the way. And we'll have a look at the powerful reactive binding system that will make you rethink all your complex state-handling solutions.

Web development on Windows done right

Are you into web dev and using a Windows machine? Are your colleagues and friends mocking you for how slow it seems compared to their Macs? Is it really meant to be like that? Isn't there anything that we can do as Windows-based developers to speed up our workflow?

Actually, there is! And not just one thing... There are actually a few tricks that we can utilize to make our developer workflow faster!

We can for example use the new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to improve web dev tooling speed. And use containerization (Docker, Podman) to help us with our local development. And in some cases, it can even help out with the CI/CD builds of our large web apps!

Join Andreas Wänqvist, an avid web developer with a Windows machine, for a session where he shows you how to make web development on Windows better. :)

Web on Azure - the easy way

Need a fast and simple way to get your web app into the cloud? Want cheap webscale hosting that is still super simple? How about Azure static web apps? And yeah, is not just for static content!

Have a hosted web app that needs to scale to thousands of users? No worries, Azure App Service got you covered!

Join Andreas Wänqvist, an avid web developer with a keen eye for Azure, for a session where he shows you how to make web development on Azure fast and simple.

Autonomous AI Agents: From Memory to Self-Modification in .NET

Artificial Intelligence is all the rage, and 2025 is said to be the year of agents. Agents being small AI systems, empowered to act on the users behalf.

This talk provides a practical guide to building AI agents using the .NET ecosystem, and services in Azure like AI Foundry. We're diving in to how to give the agents reasoning, what are the best models, and why? We'll look at the best ways to give agents memory, and the best ways to introduce tool use. How do we give our agents a sense of time, and can we enable them to evolve and improve over time?

This talk is ideal for .NET developers, AI enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the future of intelligent automation. Join me to learn how to build intelligent agents!

All the examples on how to build Agents on Microsoft Azure AI Foundry is in either JS or Python. This talk focuses on the .Net developers fluent in c# that are familiar with Azure.

There will be a fair amount of concepts introduced in this talk, like reasoning, memory, time, tool calling and self improvement. This means that most of the system will be assembled before hand, code will be shown together with services in Azure and thier relations to each other, but in the interest of time, not much live coding will be done.

The State of AI Coding Tools: From Low-Code to Autonomous Agents

AI-powered development tools have evolved rapidly from simple code completion to autonomous coding agents. This session examines the current landscape of AI coding assistance across different skill levels and use cases.

We'll explore the spectrum of available tools, from low-code platforms like Loveable that enable non-developers to build applications, to professional coding assistants like GitHub Copilot that augment experienced developers. The talk covers the emerging category of agentic tools, including Copilot's agent mode for autonomous task completion, as well as command-line agents like Claude Code and Gemini CLI, which handle complex development workflows.

We'll also examine cloud-based coding agents, such as Codex, and their capabilities for larger-scale development tasks. Through practical examples and evaluation criteria, attendees will learn how to select appropriate tools for their team's skill level and project requirements.

The session concludes with guidance on implementation strategies, common pitfalls, and realistic expectations for AI-assisted development in professional environments.

Target audience: Developers, technical leads, and engineering managers looking to understand and evaluate AI coding tools for their teams.

Advanced Autonomous Agents: Memory, Collaboration and Evolution in Action

Agents are small, goal driven, AI systems, that can act on the user's behalf.

In this session, we'll dive deep into the intricacies of pro-code Agents based in the .NET ecosystem and Azure. With Microsoft Agent Framework as the AI SDK of choice, using models hosted in Azure Foundry.

But the code is just our starting point!

We'll explore some really hard questions, like:
What is the best way to let Agents solve issues in collaboration?
What happens to an Agent if you let it evolve over time, and how do you actually solve evolution?
What is the best way to handle memory for Agents?
How do we best handle web requests?
And of course, we have to discuss what the best current available models are for building Agentic systems!

These are some real-world challenges when building agentic systems that interact with the world, whether through .NET logic or calling external MCP services. Expect surprising outcomes, hard-earned lessons, and a few dragons along the way.

Conceptually very advanced, an amount of LLM working knowledge is good to have.

Hack Your Productivity with the GitHub Copilot SDK

This talk is about pointing AI at the parts of your developer workflow you quietly hate.

The GitHub Copilot SDK makes it easy to embed AI-powered coding intelligence into your applications—but what happens when you turn it on your own developer workflow?

In this talk, we’ll explore how to use the GitHub Copilot SDK to automate the boring, repetitive parts of everyday development. Using C#, we’ll build CLI tools that put AI to work on real tasks to help smooth out common workflow pain points.

You’ll learn how to wire the SDK into external tools, create custom commands that actually understand your codebase, and turn hours of manual busywork into seconds of automation.

If you’ve ever thought “there has to be a better way to do this,” this talk is about building it.
