Hi there… I'm Rodrigo, a Microsoft technologies veteran with more than 20+ years of experience.

In recent years, I have focused on Artificial Intelligence technologies, starting with Natural Language Processing (NPL) services such as Azure AI Language (previously known as Azure Cognitive Service for Language) and now with Generative AI (mainly Azure OpenAI), working on the potential and challenges (technical and ethical) of these new technologies and trying to help the community face them.

I also generate digital content to share my experience working with Artificial Intelligence services and resources, sharing tricks and strategies that anyone can follow, taking knowledge from the most basic levels to the most advanced. I publish my content through my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@CODERTECTURA), Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/codertectura), LinkedIn and X social networks (formerly Twitter), my personal blog (www.codertectura.com), and other media such as the ENCAMINA blog (my current company), allowing me to reach more people through these channels.

I am a co-founder and main contributor of the open-source library ENMARCHA (https://github.com/Encamina/enmarcha), which showcases some of my experience and knowledge with Microsoft and Azure libraries for Artificial Intelligence. The idea is to help the community adopt these technologies and accelerate their own projects and initiatives.

Développeuse et facilitatrice passionnée depuis plus de 7 ans, je vois la tech comme un terrain d’apprentissage continu, où le code, les humains et les processus se rencontrent, et parfois s’entrechoquent, pour produire du sens.

Je m’intéresse aux pratiques Craft, DevOps et agiles, mais aussi à ce que l’on appelle trop souvent les “soft skills”. Pour moi, la performance d’une équipe repose autant sur la qualité du code que sur la clarté des intentions, la qualité des interactions et la sécurité psychologique.

Dans mes conférences, j’aime éclairer les angles morts, démystifier les bases et ouvrir des espaces de réflexion concrets, avec un goût assumé pour la nuance, la pédagogie et tout ce qui rend les pratiques techniques plus humaines.
