I design enterprise solutions that connect automation, data, and AI into scalable, governed platforms.

My work centers on the Microsoft ecosystem, where I architect solutions across Power Platform, Dataverse, SharePoint, Microsoft Graph, and Azure AI services. I focus on building systems that are not just functional, but structured for security, maintainability, and enterprise-scale adoption — from relational data modeling and environment ALM strategies to identity-aware integrations and AI-powered knowledge architectures.

I’m particularly interested in how enterprise AI is reshaping solution design. Much of my work involves designing knowledge pipelines using Azure AI Search, Copilot orchestration, and structured content systems that turn documents and data into actionable intelligence.

Beyond delivery, I actively contribute to the Microsoft community through technical content, speaking, and knowledge sharing. I enjoy translating architecture decisions into practical guidance for builders while also helping leaders understand the long-term impact of platform choices.

Always open to connecting with others working on modern workplace architecture, automation platforms, and enterprise AI solutions.

Software Architect and Engineering Lead with 20+ years building and scaling web and mobile platforms. I specialise in JVM-based backend systems, mobile development (Android, Flutter), and the architecture that connects them.

Most recently, I led the architectural transition of a global online dating platform from legacy monoliths to .NET microservices with React frontends, while continuing to operate the existing JVM-based API platform serving over 1 billion interactions per month.

Dr. Cathy Sarvis is a dynamic speaker, educator, and wellness strategist who has spent more than three decades helping individuals and organizations perform at their best—physically, mentally, and professionally. Her mission has been clear since 1988, when she began teaching aerobics while still in high school: empower people to live healthier, more energized lives and exceed the goals they once believed were out of reach.

Early in her career, Dr. Sarvis became a leader in the corporate wellness space, spending more than a decade designing and delivering instructor trainings and workplace wellness programs. She worked closely with executives and leadership teams to improve employee productivity, retention, and morale—while reducing workplace injuries, repetitive stress disorders, and rising healthcare costs.

Since 2008, she has also served as Adjunct Faculty at Life University, mentoring future healthcare leaders and professionals.

A wellbeing guide. Kira Buckley is an integrative medicine practitioner, writer, and ceremonial guide whose work sits at the intersection of somatics, ancestral intelligence, nervous system regulation, and cultural repair.
With a background as a former educator and over a decade of clinical and experiential work in acupuncture, herbal medicine, somatic therapy, and ritual facilitation, Kira speaks to what happens beneath behavior—where the body carries stories that language, systems, and family structures often fail to name.
Her talks explore themes such as:
The inherited costs of caretaking, productivity, and “being strong”
Rest as a physiological and cultural recalibration—not a luxury
How grief, burnout, and chronic symptoms are often signals of misalignment rather than pathology
Reclaiming authority from external validation, tradition, and transactional love
The body as a living archive of ancestral memory and future possibility
Kira is known for her grounded presence, sharp insight, and ability to translate complex somatic and spiritual concepts into language that is accessible, embodied, and actionable. She does not offer platitudes or performance healing—she invites people into honest self-contact, practical integration, and courageous choice-making.
Whether speaking to educators, healers, creatives, caregivers, or organizational leaders, Kira’s work leaves audiences with more than inspiration—it leaves them with permission and tools to live in deeper alignment with their bodies, boundaries, and truth.

Many of us are exhausted when our nervous systems carry more than they were ever designed to hold, while the world still expects peak performance. Farhan Zahid steps into that gap and turns all of that pressure into a doorway for sustainable power, clearer thinking, and real breakthroughs in personal and professional wellness.

Farhan is the founder and CEO of KNKO, a concierge wellness company for high-performing leaders, teams, and member communities based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Before KNKO, he spent years as a Chartered Accountant, Big 4 Internal Auditor and Head of Risk at a global investment firm. That experience means his keynotes and workshops connect wellbeing directly to performance, outcomes, and impact, helping individuals and organizations create tangible, measurable shifts instead of simply “feeling better.”

Alongside his corporate career, Farhan has trained as a clinical hypnotherapist, Master NLP practitioner, yoga teacher, massage therapist, and has worked as an auxiliary nurse in both clinical and psychiatric settings. He combines body-mind science, behavioral change, and practical tools into sessions that help people immediately regulate stress, deepen rest, and cultivate their energy in real-world conditions.

With 20+ years on stage, Farhan has spoken at organizational and industry conferences, board meetings, executive off-sites, company all-hands and private members clubs. Whether he is working with a leadership team, a full organization, or an individual, his aim is simple: to help people who carry a lot on their shoulders move through the world with more clarity, calm, sustainable power...and the capacity to perform at their best when it truly counts.
