My name is Sergio Albea and I'm originally from a tiny town called Valls, Spain, known for building the best human castles (called castells). About 15 years ago, I moved to Barcelona, where I had an amazing time both personally and professionally. Five years ago, I landed in beautiful Switzerland, where I am currently working as CSOC Security Expert, focus on threat analysis and response on SWITCH (Swiss National Research and Education Network).

With over 15 years of experience, I have immersed myself in the dynamic field of security, focusing on diverse IT landscapes and ensuring robust protection against threats and vulnerabilities. My approach is divided in proactivity, leveraging advanced analytics and architectural design to preemptively mitigate risks and fortify defenses against potential breaches.

Throughout my career, I have had to secure and manage a myriad of IT environments such as messaging platforms, Identity and Access Management systems, Information Protection mechanisms, DevOps, Azure Resources such as Databases, Networking, Storage, Scripting, and others.

I have been fortunate to work alongside professionals and amazing coworkers who have generously shared their knowledge and insights, enabling me to refine my skills and deepen my understanding of multiple best-practices, forever grateful to all of you, as you well know.

Whether through my daily work or via my YouTube channel, I take great pride in sharing my knowledge and expertise with colleagues and at the same time, continue to learn from all of them.

AI Platform Lead | Data & AI Strategist | Agentic Systems Advocate

With more than 20 years of experience in data, analytics, and digital transformation, I have spent my career helping organizations turn information into measurable business value. My foundation lies in data analytics, data platforms, and enterprise-scale data governance, where I have led teams, platforms, and strategic initiatives in highly regulated environments.

Over the past years, my focus has evolved from building data-driven organizations to enabling AI-driven organizations. Today, I lead the intersection of Data Platforms and AI Platforms within the Swiss health insurance industry, helping shape the foundations for trusted, scalable, and governed AI adoption.

Key Areas of Expertise

- AI Platform Leadership
Leading the evolution from traditional data platforms toward enterprise AI platforms, enabling organizations to operationalize Generative AI, Agentic AI, and intelligent automation at scale.

- AI Governance & Responsible AI
Designing governance frameworks that balance innovation, security, compliance, and transparency in one of the most regulated industries. My work focuses on ensuring AI solutions remain trustworthy, auditable, and aligned with business and regulatory requirements.

- Agentic Development & AI Engineering
Specialized in designing and implementing enterprise-grade AI agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework, combining modern software engineering practices with AI-native architectures. My focus includes multi-agent systems, orchestration patterns, identity propagation, and secure agent-to-agent collaboration.

- Data & AI Platforms
Deep expertise in Azure, Microsoft Fabric, Data Mesh, and enterprise data platforms. I believe that future AI capabilities can only succeed when built upon strong foundations of data quality, governance, interoperability, and platform thinking.

- Leadership & Transformation
Leading multidisciplinary teams through technological change, fostering innovation cultures, and helping organizations navigate the transition from data-centric to AI-centric operating models.

Vision

I believe the next generation of enterprise systems will be built around intelligent agents that act as active participants within business processes. Data products will evolve into intelligent, interactive products capable of reasoning, collaborating, and creating value autonomously.

My mission is to help organizations build the platforms, governance models, and engineering capabilities required to make this transformation secure, scalable, and sustainable.

Duncan is a Power BI and Fabric consultant, based in Norfolk and running Boyne
Business Intelligence. He builds reporting that reflects how a business actually
works, rather than what looks good on a dashboard. Semantic models, report design,
governance, and a fair bit of working out where AI is genuinely useful in data work
and where it's just noise. Accessibility runs through all of it, and since he's
red-blind himself, it has never been theoretical.

The community is the part he'll talk about longest. He runs the Norfolk Power
Platform User Group and is the founder of the East of England Summit, creating
spaces for people at all levels to learn, connect, and grow. He found this community
by accident, and it's still the best accident he's made.

Outside of tech, he's a dad of two, usually being outnumbered at home by kids and a
dog. When he does get a bit of time, it's spent gaming, reading, getting lost in
manga, or listening to music that most people would describe as "a bit aggressive."
