I'm Elaiza 👋, a Senior Cloud Advocate for Power Platform at Microsoft. As a developer advocate, I create awesome content for our Microsoft community, ranging from samples on our GitHub repo, aka.ms/power-prompts, or videos on our Power Platform YouTube channel, aka.ms/powerplatformYT.

I also often present at virtual or in-person events where I interact with the developer community. This allows me to capture feedback and relay it back to the respective product group teams at Microsoft for product improvement.

I started with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and then fell in love with Power Platform in 2018. I also have a series on my YouTube channel, youtube.com/@ElaizaBenitez, called, WTF - What The Flow, where I help others learn about Power Automate cloud flows.

Fiona McCarthy

Fiona McCarthy

Fiona McCarthy spent over twenty years in aviation, helping build medical evacuation networks and humanitarian air operations across Africa. They led international panels on how civilian crews were often the real backbone behind military missions on the continent, navigating high-stakes logistics that made debugging look easy. After watching aviation evolve from hands-on flying to drones and complex automation, they pivoted into digital media, co-founding a fast-growing digital-first radio platform despite having no radio or marketing background.
Their outsider perspective revealed how digital tools often miss real human behaviour, and they now focus on how developers can design tech that measures authenticity, not vanity metrics.

My experience spans over 25 years of engineering in the public, financial and telecoms sectors. I am an Agile Fundamentalist and AppSec Snooper. The principles of the agile manifesto form the basis of good practices. It boils down to lots of common sense, small steps, learning along the way, not writing code that nobody will want or need and taking processes and procedures with a pinch of salt.

I want to make security more approachable and more pragmatic, more agile. The only way to deal with a deluge of vulnerabilities, bad practices copied from StackOverflow or hallucinated by an LLM is to bring security together with development.

Recently, I’ve become a head of engineering, where I swapped working with code to working with people. That suits me fine as I’ve bastardised the 80:20 rule: Software engineering is 80% social and only 20% technical.
