My journey has been largely around technology, digital skills, education and using technology to solve practical problems.

Through Soteria Technologies, I have had the opportunity to work on initiatives around digital literacy, education technology, ICT infrastructure, Internet governance and community digital access.

But one thing I have learned is that having a good technology solution is only one part of the journey.

You also have to understand the people you are serving, build relationships, manage resources, find sustainable ways to operate, build partnerships and create systems that allow the work to continue.

That is why I chose this topic.

I want us to look beyond the excitement of building the product and talk about what it really takes to turn that product into a functioning and sustainable organization.

I'm a Principal Architect at Microsoft specializing in the Microsoft Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Microsoft Copilot, and agentic AI solutions for U.S. State and Local Government.

Throughout my career, I've been driven by a simple belief: the people who understand a business problem best should have a meaningful voice in building the solution. That's why I'm so passionate about Microsoft's low-code and no-code platform. I love helping organizations empower business users to work alongside professional developers to create applications, automations, and AI experiences that solve real problems and deliver measurable value.

For more than two decades, I've worked with government organizations to modernize business processes, improve citizen services, and accelerate digital transformation. I've partnered with agencies of every size to design solutions that combine enterprise architecture, modern application development, automation, data, and artificial intelligence into practical outcomes that users can embrace.

My favorite conversations are the ones where technology becomes accessible. Whether I'm presenting on Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Copilot Studio, or the latest advancements in agentic AI, my goal is always the same: to make complex technology approachable, demonstrate what's possible, and give people the confidence to build solutions they didn't think they could create themselves.

I believe the future of software development isn't about replacing professional developers—it's about expanding who gets to participate in creating great software. When analysts, subject matter experts, makers, architects, and developers collaborate using the Microsoft Power Platform, organizations build better solutions, faster. That's the future I'm excited to help shape.

Soy Product Designer con foco en UX/UI y más de 5 años diseñando interfaces digitales que funcionen para personas reales, en contextos reales.

Soy Trabajador Social, y eso cambia cómo miro los productos, antes de pensar en flujos, arquitecturas e interfaces, pienso en quién queda afuera de ellas. Ese recorrido me llevó a especializarme en accesibilidad y usabilidad de plataformas de gobierno digital, que es lo que investigo actualmente en mi maestría.

Combino evaluaciones técnicas con metodologías de Diseño Centrado en el Usuario para entender no solo qué falla en una plataforma, sino por qué falla para determinadas personas. Cuento con certificación en WCAG 2.2 otorgada por la IAAP (International Association of Accessibility Professionals).

Creo que una buena experiencia de usuario no puede existir sin accesibilidad, y que la accesibilidad digital no es una lista de criterios que cumplir, claro que es un punto de partida.

Olabamiji Ajisomo helps organisations in regulated industries, where a lack of trust in data is a widespread challenge, to build confidence and drive change. Over nine years in technology have taken him from IT support and network infrastructure through cybersecurity and into his current role at Social Work England, a specialist statutory regulator, where he leads an enterprise-wide data transformation agenda, designing governance architecture, deploying technology, and driving change at the highest levels. He holds a BSc in Information Technology and an MSc in Cybersecurity with Advanced Practice (Distinction) from Teesside University.

Olabamiji speaks and facilitates at corporate and industry conferences and contributes to webinars and virtual panels. His workshops are designed to work across the room, giving technical practitioners and leadership teams the depth and context each needs to act. His sessions draw from real experience delivering enterprise-scale data transformation in high-compliance environments.

His commitment to the tech community runs deeper than any single event or platform. As a STEM Ambassador, he volunteers to bring real technology careers to life for young people across the UK. Through Equal Education Chances, a registered UK charity, he works alongside marginalised children and young people, providing mentorship and supporting them to develop the skills and confidence needed to achieve their goals, whatever their circumstances. For Olabamiji, speaking is one part of something larger: a genuine commitment to equipping the next generation to navigate the technology landscape with confidence.

A member of both DAMA International and DAMA UK, he is embedded in the global data management professional community. His central argument is one he returns to repeatedly: cybersecurity and data management are interdependent disciplines, and it is precisely at that intersection where the greatest organisational risk lives and where the most resilient practice begins.
