Although my academic background was in language studies, I’ve been working with internet technologies for over twenty years, mostly doing classic web programming, followed by leading teams of developers. Technically, I have always been passionate about interface technologies. Now, I can combine my deep interest in linguistics and voice interfaces to contribute to the voice revolution.

I firmly believe that we, as consumers, are part of the “Voice Revolution”. Use cases, market potential and technological breakthroughs are growing exponentially. Because we have all the necessary building blocks at Reply, we need to document, bundle and channel our efforts to provide excellent voice solutions to Reply customers – and indeed – to ourselves, the IT-consumers of the 21st century!

Ian Bourne

Ian Bourne

My company, Cloud2020, is a Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform consultancy based in Gloucestershire, that operates across the UK and Ireland - we focus on the SMB market, helping to build their businesses through innovation.

I started out as a ship's navigator with Cunard before various roles in the navy, merchant navy, and Ministry of Defence, both in command and ultimately as an Admiralty Pilot serving in the UK and Gibraltar. After I came 'ashore' I ran companies in Hampshire and London, and the Careers Service National Association before starting my own business selling software at discount into the charity and education sector.

When the cloud came on the scene I quickly saw this was the way ahead and initially set up a business to deliver Office365. When Dynamics became a SaaS product I realised this was the product that most motivated my team, and also gave our customers some serious business advantages, so I moved the company to focus entirely to Dynamics 365.

I live with my wife in Gloucestershire along with our two horses, two goats, thirteen ducks, eight hens, three beehives and dog.

I love to spend my holidays yacht sailing, skiing or travelling and for relaxation I play saxophone and guitar in a band. On occasions you will also find me on the bridge of s.s. Shieldhall navigating this amazing ship around the Solent (https://ss-shieldhall.co.uk/)

Over the years, he’s worked on everything from multi-tenant migrations and CI/CD pipelines that actually behave, to backend services that don’t wake him up at 3 AM. He loves clean architecture, simple solutions to messy problems, and developers who write good commit messages.

When Sachin isn't deep in code, you’ll find him experimenting with side projects, helping teammates level up, or trying (and failing) to keep his local dev environment perfectly organized.

Coleman Ledbetter

Coleman Ledbetter

Coleman Creed Ledbetter grew up in Waller, Texas, surrounded by quiet fields, steady routines, and a close family that shaped his early sense of direction. Life on a ranch near his grandparents taught him responsibility through simple daily tasks and long hours outside. He spent much of his childhood exploring open land and learning how work and patience fit together. These early lessons formed the values that still guide him with clarity and purpose.

After graduating from Waller High School in 2021, Coleman started college at Texas Tech before moving to South Plains College, where he plans to finish in 2026. He intends to become an electrician, drawn to the hands-on skill and reliability of the trade. Working with tools and building practical knowledge feels meaningful to him. The direction he has chosen offers a balance of stability and growth, giving him a clear path toward a future he can shape.

Music took root in Coleman’s life early on through family gatherings that often ended with shared songs and well-used guitars. Those moments helped him find confidence in singing and writing, and he developed a style closely tied to his Texas upbringing. He has performed in Lubbock at spots like Bashas and continues to draw inspiration from the outdoors and the people who influence his life. Music gives him space to express emotion and reflect on where he comes from.

Outside of school and music, Coleman Ledbetter spends significant time outdoors, where fishing, hunting, and surfing bring a sense of peace. Growing up in Texas helped him love open spaces, and trips to Costa Rica introduced him to surfing while he was young. His work experience includes construction duties with Epic Energy and managing rental properties, both of which taught him problem-solving and responsibility. These roles strengthened his ability to handle challenges with patience.

Volunteer work has also shaped Coleman’s perspective, including mission trips with UMARMY, projects at a women’s shelter, and supporting programs through Cepia in Costa Rica. These experiences taught him the value of service and community. Looking toward the future, he plans to build a career in the trades while continuing to pursue music, guided by the values of effort, honesty, and family that have defined his life since childhood.
