Hey 👋 I am a Cloud Developer Advocate working for Microsoft based in the UK, focused on Microsoft 365 development.

I have specialised in SharePoint and Microsoft 356 extensibility for the past decade and have had many roles from administrator, developer, consultant and architect.

Previously I worked as a Modern Work Consultant in Industry Solutions Delivery for Microsoft in the UK, previous to Microsoft I worked for several Microsoft Partners who all have focused on Microsoft 365 and digital transformation.

I am passionate about community, I am a Microsoft 365 Community (PnP) team member and co-maintainer of the open source tenant management tool, CLI for Microsoft 365.

I also co-present the GreyHatBeardPrincess podcast, along with Kevin McDonnell, Alan Eardley and Luise Freese, where we discus all things Microsoft 365 and the modern workplace.

Before joining Microsoft, I was awarded with Microsoft MVP for Office Development award twice for my contributions to the Microsoft 365 community.

Accelerate your Microsoft Teams bot development with Teams Toolkit

Bots provide a great way for your users to interact with a process and complete repetitive tasks using quick questions or more complex conversations.

However, developing bots has been complex and requires considerable setup which can be time-consuming and error prone.

In this session you will learn how to get started using Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio code to create, develop, debug and publish bots to your Microsoft 365 tenant with ease. You will also learn how to create two types of bots, notification and command, and learn the differences between them through demonstrations and code samples.

Build Microsoft 365 apps that help keep employees in the flow of work

Did you know you can extend apps and experiences to new surfaces in Microsoft 365?

Garry Trinder, Cloud Developer Advocate at Microsoft, will show you how to use the Teams Toolkit to build Teams apps, plus use the Teams JS SDK to extend existing apps and surface them across multiple Microsoft 365 surfaces, Teams, Outlook and Office.
