Catching-up with Tony and Jason (Chuantao), ex-MVPs, over sizzling Korean BBQ 🔥🥩 in Chinatown! We talked tech, passion, life, and of course, their legendary MVPSummit moments at Microsoft Redmond campus.

Now, it's time for me to apply leave from family responsibilities. 🤣 MVP Summit (March 25th to 27th), hope I will be there this year for the first time.

Lucky! 🍀 My AzureAI and CosmosDB hackathon project was a winner (honorable mentions) and featured on the Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB Dev Blogs last October (just noticed it) ! A few weekends of hard work truly paid off! ✨

This AI hackathon had over 9,500 developers world-wide engaged with Azure Cosmos DB and Azure AI services, making it one of the most popular on Devpost, ranking in the top 0.2% of all Devpost hackathons. 🔥

💖 A huge shoutout to Ricky, Lanna, Jasmine, Reddy, Marko, Aveneel, João, Microsoft CosmosDB team and Devpost for hosting this incredible hackathon last year. Excited to keep building and innovating with Azure AI and Cosmos DB! 🚀

One last AIAppInOneDay workshop in 2024 at the Microsoft Canberra office to wrap up the year! On what turned out to be a record-hot day🔥, the energy in the room was even hotter (and no, it wasn't just because one of the A/C units went down in the morning 😅).

We dove into building AI apps using Azure AI Services, and the excitement was contagious! 🎉 We discussed questions on topics like evaluating LLM responses using AIFoundry and dove into experiments with GraphRAG from Microsoft Research.

The session was filled with insightful questions, innovative ideas, and collaborative problem-solving ✨, highlighting the transformative power of AI in reshaping how we think and develop.

A huge shoutout to all the participants for your curiosity and engagement that made this workshop a remarkable success! 🙌 We did it again, Ahmed Youssef! 💡 Special thanks to Tracey, Michelle, and Ross for organizing this fantastic workshop!

Innovation overload in Auckland! 🚀 Just rounded off another unforgettable AIAppinOneDay workshop in Microsoft office with Ahmed, and it was all about getting our hands dirty with Azure AI services.

Yep, we built a RAG chatbot from scratch 💬 - embedding generations, vector searches, LangChain orchestration. It was like taking OpenAI models to the next level, with a vibe that screamed: "Let's build cool stuff!"

The best bit?💡Realizing we can make AI apps for literally anything. Work? Sorted. Fun? Oh yeah. What about an app to predict the next lottery numbers (an idea from crowd) ! Are we coding or dreaming? Who cares - it's genius.

Shoutout to everyone in the room who brought the energy, ideas, and what if moments. 🤝

On a scorching Sydney day, we turned up the excitement even more with our GitHub Copilot Excitement Day! 🎉 The room at Perpetual Limited was packed with energy as developers, data engineers, and DevOps teams came together to explore how GitHub Copilot is shaking up the way we work.

We led a hands-on session demonstrating how Copilot can streamline coding and enhance efficiency. The day sparked vibrant discussions on fostering creativity and collaboration across teams. We also shared real-life examples of how Copilot is already helping us tackle challenges and achieve impactful results. 🚀

A massive shoutout to everyone who made the day unforgettable, especially Jan and Ross for organizing the session! Great to see Insight teammate Alpesh and Praveen in the room too!

'Grab a GitHub T-shirt 👕 before they're all gone!' At ME Bank, this has turned out to be my favorite opening line for our GitHub Copilot excitement day!

My amazing Insight teammate, Rakesh, and I had the pleasure of hosting another engaging session with the ME Bank / BOQ Group in Melbourne. 🌟 Fantastic job, Rakesh and Ahmed, on successfully running three sessions this week!

The enthusiasm in the room was fantastic! Everyone was eager to explore what Copilot can bring to our day-to-day workflows. From automating repetitive coding tasks to boosting productivity, the possibilities are truly exciting!

Thank you to all the participants for your curiosity and energy, especially Thien. We can't wait to see how you leverage Copilot in your projects! 💻✨

Now, time to catch my third flight of the day and head home! 🛫

Incredible Microsoft AI AppinaDay Workshop in Wellington, my first time to the lovely city!

It's fantastic to see so much enthusiasm in the room as we dive into the capabilities of Azure AI services. The questions and engagement from everyone attending are truly impressive. Really great running the session with my Insight teammates Ross and Ajay!

An amazing session from AKS product team about the new features of Azure Kubernetes Service at Microsoft Reactor Sydney tonight! It's an insightful presentation and demo from Justin on running open source LLMs in AKS using the AI toolchain operator (KAITO) - a perfect blend of AI and Kubernetes in action!

Fantastic opportunity to hear directly from the team. Great to see Simon and Jorge and the visiting product managers Brian and Kaysie for such an engaging event. Read more about KAITO: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/ai-toolchain-operator

Great pizzas too! 🍕

🚀 EPIC 'Excitement day' at Kmart Australia Limited HQ! Insight hosted two sessions of hands-on labs with the fantastic Kmart team, diving into the wonders of GitHub Copilot. The energy was off the charts! From seasoned pros to adventurous coders, everyone was excited to see how copilot could boost our day to day coding experience. We explored C#, Java, Node.js, React, Terraform and even classics like COBOL and BASIC! 💻

A huge shoutout to Duane G. Sachin Walia for making this event such a blast, and Microsoft GitHub for making it happen. The excitement in the room was contagious, and we can't wait to see how Copilot will boost efficiency and ignite innovation! 💡
