What fascinates us, engages us and what engages us, helps us to learn.

Stories told with enthusiasm build connections. They build trust and help us interact with greater engagement and creativity for stronger technical solutions.

Nelly Sattari loves problem-solving and is passionate about driving minds to engage with technology. She is a software engineer and Tech Engineering Manager based in Sydney, Australia and has spent her entire career involved in the IT industry.

Her focus is building teams who create modern applications, and she is indebted to her full-stack development background and the knowledge she gained there.
Also, she leveraged the synergistic effect of her technical skills and leadership abilities to lead the inclusive, local IT communities that are her favourite playground and where she facilitates knowledge-sharing platforms, supports user groups and nurtures beginner expertise, while steering clear of buzzwords for a more practical and tangible approach.
That combination led her to be awarded as Microsoft Azure MVP (Most Valuable Professional) four consecutive times.

Come and join Nelly in an armchair-like, story-focused conversation to unpack familiar, yet often undiscussed, problems that will unveil new and thought-provoking solutions.

Benni is a Senior Program Manager in the Fabric Customer Advisory Team (Fabric CAT) at Microsoft. Aspiring to be top notch in his field, through continuous personal development, on both technical and soft skills. He strives for maximum results in his tasks using team play, communication, thinking outside of the box, and (endless) motivation. Benni is always ready to tackle the unknown, or pick up fresh ideas to broaden his range. Building on past experiences, he continuously tries to find new, more efficient ways of obtaining results, and improving the process along the way.

Loving (almost) every day of it, he’s fascinated by the value of data, sometimes flabbergasted by the lack of awareness, and intrigued by the endless possibilities whilst discovering new ways of looking at data. He thrives on unfolding new insights for customers whilst using an open and transparent communication.

On a daily basis he turns (large amounts of) coffee into insights for customers, and references witty British comedy, lame dad jokes, and obscure facts way too often. Overly enthusiastic about anything data related, he’s trying hard to keep up with all things new and shiny.

When not working, blogging or reading, you’ll likely find him out and about being his weird self. Rumour has it that he’s also involved with a ragtag band of data enthusiasts, enjoying themselves whilst organising cool community things.
They go by the name of .. dataMinds!
