Using and Deploying Azure Static Sites
When you are looking to host sites in Azure you always want to limit costs and spend money where it really matters. We will walk through how to deploy your first app through infrastructure as code and a CI/CD pipeline to Azure as easily as possible! I hope to see you there!
ARM Versus Bicep Deploying Via GitHub Actions
Join me as we discuss the future implementation of Infrastructure as Code! Is it better than ARM, what does the future look like, is it scary, how to prepare for the future? Find out in this presentation!
Continuous Delivery Novice to Dangerous
The goal of this talk is to take people from the high-level phrase “Continuous Delivery” to building out a pipeline in Github and deploying safely to Azure. This will get everyone not only knowledgeable in CD topics but lay a good foundation to be dangerous in writing pipelines safely at their jobs.
This workshop is geared toward developers at all skill levels or who are new to Github/Azure! This will be a friendly workshop in building out your first continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline. That might sounds scary, but with a little guidance and the maturity of the tools today you’d be surprised how quickly you can go from hearing about “Continuous Delivery” to actually implementing it yourself! This guided walkthrough will take you from talking about the high-level concepts of Continuous Delivery as we come to them and also building out a simple sample application. There will also be more supplemental materials for more challenging or self-learning outside of the workshop!
What is DevOps and How it's Not Just Someone Else's Job
In this presentation, we will discuss what I see as the ideal state of DevOps and discuss at a high level how it fits in with Agile. We will discuss where DevOps came from and how you can incrementally adopt it and a path to fully adopt it!
Santa's Minimal APIs and Azure Container Apps!
In this presentation, we are going to be going over building an API for Santa's workshop in .Net 7 using minimal APIs. This will include auth and deploying our application to an Azure container app!
Azure Open AI
Have you heard about Chat GPT? Do you think Open AI could be the future of your company, or make your job way easier? In this session we will discuss how to get started with Open AI in Azure, the feature set today, incorporating it in our daily app development, and importing it to a simple .Net application!
Kansas City Microsoft Azure Meetup
In this presentation, we are going to be going over building an API for Santa's workshop in .Net 7 using minimal APIs. This will include auth and deploying our application to an Azure container app!

ARM Versus Bicep Deploying Via Azure DevOps
Since Bicep is the new kid on the block many companies have already adopted ARM or know it well enough to hide from it. However, the new leap with Bicep should encourage everyone to adopt it or quickly move away from other products to give it a chance! We will use it to deploy a site to Azure!
