Azure Triumphs Nikos Delis

Lars works as a Platform Leader for one of the world's biggest companies, IKEA. In his role, Lars together with his team, creates a platform which can be used by other teams, to deploy their workloads on Azure; ensuring thus that it is done "in the right way". I got lots of useful learnings and insights during this conversation and I hope that more people think likewise.

Hanna is an experienced Azure Expert and a fantastic speaker whose sessions I had the honor to attend twice, in two separate conferences. However, despite her strong Azure profile, her lections had to do with Quantum Computing, a term that's fuzzy to many of us. Avoiding any spoilers, what can be said is that Quantum is the real next big thing. In this episode, we discuss Quantum Computing fundamentals, what it is, and how close it is to bringing the world upside down.

Ana's story is one of the most exciting ones I have ever heard. Combining studies in various fields and countries, Ana has traveled (more or less) all over the world and attended classes in multiple universities and this has shaped her into the brilliant individual she is today. This episode was recorded in the Royal Danish Library (Black Diamond) in Copenhagen and it's full of background sounds which creates an exciting atmosphere in the background. I hope you enjoy Ana's story and the episode in general.

The legendary Marc Duiker accepted my invitation and is my second guest for this season!!! I don't think that Marc needs a lot of introduction but just in case you are new in Tech, Marc is the guy with the awesome beard, the blue top hat (at least in conferences) and the mad skillz, especially on Dapr. In this episode we talked about on of Marc's latest Azure Triumphs where he held a Lead Developer position and successfully lead a Cloud Migration project. I hope you enjoyed the episode as much as I did.

This is the first episode of the second season and I wanted it to be special, and I think I hit the bull's eye. I have never met Ellie in real life; I only know her from her activity on X and LinkedIn, but it doesn't take a genius to understand that she's a special one. Ellie has just started her career as a Software Engineer and I am convinced that her story will inspire everybody who's just started or considers starting a career in tech as a Software Engineer. Ellie and I spent an hour talking about her explorations, what motivates her, and what helps her keep it up in a high tempo. I promise you a story that will exceed your wildest expectations.

For the last episode of this first season, I couldn't ask for a better guest than the fantastic Irina Dragunova. Irina works for Microsoft and if she hadn't then maybe she would be a world-famous painter or mathematician today! Listen to her explaining her career journey and of course, her triumph project which includes Power BI and SAP!
