Erissa Duvall

Erissa Duvall

Everyone has their niche in the world where they find the most joy and fulfillment. For me that has become Accessibility. Some of my experience comes from my personal ordeals I have gone through as I have steadily learned more about what makes my brain tick and what makes my joints throw a temper tantrum. My professional experience has helped me along the way because it is where I learned just how diverse the options were for accommodations, treatment, and more.

I was initially thrown into the deep end during my amazing journey with the American Printing House for the Blind's Internal IT department. I gained insight to some of the struggles caused when environments, processes, technology, and attitudes are not accessible. However, I also experienced great joy every time I managed to help make someone's day easier by helping them be more independent and confident in themselves. Since then, I have held many other Accessibility related roles and made it my mission to spread Accessibility awareness. I've done so through by improving Code Louisville's Accessibility policies and coursework as a mentor, speaking at domestic & international events, providing support online, and so much more. I plan to continue to do what I can for as long as I am able.

Chris Klug

Chris Klug

Chris Klug has been building software professionally since sometime around 2000, back when .NET was new, CSS was a suggestion, and Roy Fielding’s REST paper had just been published. Since then he has written code for everything from model agencies to online sports betting to professional sail racing, because staying in one industry sounded far too boring.

He has been a Microsoft MVP for something like 15 years (depending on when he last updated this abstract), which either means he knows a thing or two or that he just talks a lot. Possibly both, but we all know the latter is a given. These days he works at Active Solution in Stockholm, helping clients solve problems and build better systems.

When he is not writing code, Chris is usually geeking out on some form of extreme sport like skydiving, kitesurfing, snowboarding, mountain biking, or wing foiling. He loves learning new things and spends way too much time thinking about weird stuff most people never even notice.

Jose Luis Latorre Millas

José Luis Latorre is a Microsoft AI MVP, LinkedIn Learning Trainer, and Agentic & Software Architect at Swiss Life, where he leads the Developer Community, helps shape the AI strategy—while also building agentic applications that have to work on Mondays, not just in demos.

Since 2023, he’s been contributing to Microsoft’s agentic AI frameworks (as in: building it, not just using it): Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, and now Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF)—where he’s Contributor #29. Nights and weekends, alongside the day job. Because apparently he enjoys pain… and shipping PRs.

He has released 4 courses and is working on the next one (Agent Framework), teaching up to 60,000 learners.

Frustrated by unreliable agents in the real world, he built AgentEval—the .NET evaluation toolkit that brings validation discipline to agents and agentic workflows (think: what RAGAS / DeepEval are for Python, AgentEval is for .NET).

On stage, expect real engineering lessons, practical patterns, and live demos—helping teams build agents that are not just impressive, but measurably better.

Tagline: “I don’t just build agents. I help build the frameworks… and then I measure whether they behave.”
