I'm the Microsoft Developer Engagement Lead in Asia based in Australia, and I am focused building community, attracting more diverse people into STEM careers, elevating new voices and enabling the disadvantaged. I love coding with Python and JavaScript - I build fun things with AI and code to show how easy it is to build on Azure. I mentor for Code without Barriers, She Codes Australia, Muses Code JS, Nuevo Foundation, ABCN and Girls Programming Network. I run events, and I judge Hackathons. I am an Open-Source Advocate. I am focused on emerging developer, Data Science & AI Communities. I speak at conferences around the world as often as I am invited. I am the Host of the Microsoft web show New Breakpoint and the Content Lead for the Microsoft Reactor AI Genius Series.
These are some of my Microsoft Certifications. Check out my training notes in my GitHub Certification Repositories. I'm not sure what I'm doing next, just need to find some time to focus and study! https://github.com/codess-aus
