Talks and workshops I gave in the past 3 months

15 May 2026

In the past 3 months I gave many talks and workshops, here is a list of the supporting materials for these, with links to slides, videos, and code. Themes were around the transformation of the role of developers with AI Coding Agents, how to evaluate AI Agent experience with your services, how we transformed developer relations at Microsoft with AI Agents, how to improve operations with AI Agents, how to build AI Agents with Foundry and MCP protocol, and the Fara-7b agentic model for computer use.
