Actions
I'm a coder, although the official term is Cloud Solution Architect. I have been working with Microsoft Azure since it was first introduced. Next to developing cloud stuff hands-on, I've created cloud migration advises and migration strategies for customers.
I also design system architectures, coach developers and optimize the software development process to realize important and complex systems together with the customer.
I am an international speaker.

Sharing your GOLD with Azure Data Share
We've all heard or read somewhere that data is the new gold. It is seen as a key strategic asset that organizations need to share with customers and partners in a simple and secure way. Solutions that are currently used include FTP, e-mail and APIs. There's quite some management overhead associated with using these methods.
Azure Data Share enables organizations to share data with multiple customers and partners simply, securely. In just a few clicks, you can provision a new data share account, add datasets, and invite your customers and partners to your data share.
In this session we'll introduce this service to you and show you how to use it.
Azure Static Web Apps: hit the ground running!
Azure Static Web Apps is a service that automatically builds and deploys full stack web apps to Azure from a GitHub repository. But how do they work? Or, a better question, how do we make them work for us?
After joining this session you'll have enough knowledge to go and create your own Static Web App, including authentication and authorization!
Azure Functions 101
An 'Azure for Starters' introduction to Serverless in general and Azure Functions in particular. Why is Serverless so popular, what does it actually mean and most important: how do you develop Azure Functions and make the best use of all its possibilities and power?
"What can Azure do for my organization?"
"The Azure cloud platform is more than 200 products and cloud services designed to help you bring new solutions to life—to solve today’s challenges and create the future. Build, run, and manage applications across multiple clouds, on-premises, and at the edge, with the tools and frameworks of your choice."
Wow, that sounds awesome! However, that's marketing. And it was designed to do just that: sound cool. Now let's find out, hands-on, what Azure can actually do for you and your organization.
We'll touch upon some of the most important Azure services, the tools we can use and how to keep a grip on the deployment lifecycle and your Azure environment(s).
Working with Microsoft Graph
In this technical session we'll dive into using Microsoft Graph to execute different types of actions. This varies from simple tasks like inviting users to your Azure Active Directory B2B tenant, to (way) more complex scenario's where (information from) different Graph entities are combined.
Microsoft Graph
Get rich context for your applications, such as who someone's manager is, whether they are out of office, or what documents they've been working on.
Access deep insights generated from usage patterns, such as trending documents, best team meeting times, or who people typically work with.
Respond to changes in Microsoft Graph data in real time. Reschedule a meeting based on responses, notify others when a file is modified, or continue a process after it's been approved.
Build solutions that target enterprise users in Azure and Office 365, consumers on Office Online (Outlook.com and OneDrive.com), or both.
Making serverless work for you
In this session, we're going to look at how we can combine several Azure Serverless services to build an end-to-end solution. We'll have a web front-end to upload files to storage, massively scaling our back-end services which use Functions and are triggered using Event Grid. And then some...
This will not be a typical PowerPoint only session... there will be code!
Get a grip! - Managing your APIs with API Management
This session helps you organize and monetize your data and services by creating an API gateway and developer portal using API Management.
Azure API Management is a turnkey solution for publishing APIs to external and internal customers. In this session we're showing you the ropes on setting up and managing API Management.
Getting the most out of Azure Functions
Azure Functions promises you can "Easily build the apps you need using simple, serverless functions that scale to meet demand. Use the programming language of your choice, and don’t worry about servers or infrastructure." Cool! But..... HOW?
This session is packed with tips & tricks for getting the most out of Azure Functions. From having Azure Active Directory in place for authorization to using triggers and bindings. And from leveraging the power of Azure DevOps Pipelines for build and deploy to making your Functions scale.
Getting started with Azure Cognitive Services
Wouldn't it be great if we could have our applications see, hear, speak, understand and interpret the needs of our users? We'll do just that in this session "Getting started with Azure Cognitive Services".
Azure Cognitive Services are APIs, SDKs, and services available to help us build intelligent applications with little to no AI or data science knowledge. They enable adding cognitive features into our applications. The goal of this session is to help you create applications that can see, hear, speak, understand, and even begin to reason. We'll take a look at the five main pillars: Vision, Speech, Language, Web Search and Decision.
Next to the awesome things we can do with Cognitive Services, security of course is also very important to take into account. So for those of you concerned about confidential data going into those services there's going to be an extra special example at the end of the session... 🤓
Configuration in Azure. Done right.
When handling configuration in Azure, there's a really simple and quick way to do it. And then there's the RIGHT way to do it.
In this session, we'll dive into the different options Azure provides to do configuration. And of course, we will show you how to use them. We'll not only show you example code, but also how you can use it locally while debugging. Of course we won't forget the known issues you might run into doing so...
We'll touch on App Settings, App Configuration, Key Vault and Managed Identity.
About .NET: the past, present and future
The .NET Framework was first introduced in 2002 (!!). The entire .NET ecosystem has come a long way since then.
The goal with .NET Core, with a first release in November 2014, was to take the learning from the .NET Framework over the previous 12 years and build a better product. With the release of .NET Core 3, Microsoft has closed much of the remaining capability gap with .NET Framework 4.8, which is quite a big feat. But the plans for the future are even bigger and bolder...!
This sessions gives you a brief history on .NET and elaborates on where it is right now, including demos of new features. Finally, we take a glimpse in the future to find out where it is heading.
