I’m an Azure, DevOps and AI enthusiast with more than 15 years of industry experience. My career began in infrastructure and cloud automation, but my focus has evolved toward the rapidly growing world of AI‑powered engineering. Today, I specialise in bringing intelligence into the software delivery lifecycle, helping teams move beyond traditional pipelines and embrace agentic workflows, continuous AI and modern development practices.
I have a strong foundation in Microsoft technologies and a passion for building solutions that enhance the developer experience. Whether it’s integrating AI into existing platforms, modernising engineering processes or exploring new patterns for automation, I enjoy working at the intersection of cloud, DevOps and intelligent systems. I’m also committed to community involvement through speaking, open‑source contributions and knowledge sharing.
Outside of work, I’m a lifelong nerd and a big Star Wars fan. When I’m not experimenting with Azure or GitHub, I’m usually sharing my other passions with family and friends.

Agentic Workflows The Next Evolution of CI/CD
Agentic workflows are reshaping how engineering teams build, test and ship software. Traditional CI/CD pipelines gave us automation and consistency, but they were never designed for a world where AI can reason, adapt and act with context. This session explores how continuous AI represents the natural evolution of CI/CD, moving from static pipelines to intelligent systems that can analyse code, make decisions and orchestrate complex tasks across the development lifecycle.
The talk is built around live demonstrations that show agentic workflows operating inside real repositories. Attendees will see how these workflows integrate with existing development practices, how they collaborate with engineers, and how they unlock new patterns for testing, refactoring, optimisation and operational resilience. The goal is to show that agentic automation is not a future concept but something teams can adopt today to realise immediate and meaningful benefits.
This session offers a practical and forward looking view of what comes after traditional automation and how continuous AI will redefine the way modern teams deliver software.
