Hello everybody and nice to meet you.
My name is Luigi Bruno, I'm from Lecce (South East of Italy) and I'm into the IT area for more than 25 years.
My journey into the computer's world has started in 1984 when I was given my very first personal computer, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum: that was the starting point for a passion and a learning journey that has never stopped.
I'm actually working as a SharePoint and Microsoft 365 Administrator, but I'm also interested in Power Platform (I'm studying for the Microsoft PL-200 certification exam) and cybersecurity. I've also been a Microsoft MVP and Windows Insider MVP for several years.
When I'm not studying, learning or working, I like to play tennis and take pictures with my reflex camera.My LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lubruno/
All the best!

Hey everyone,
Great to meet you all! My name is Glenn Vandenborre, and I’m based in Belgium. I work for a Belgian IT company that delivers both Managed and Professional Services, where I serve as a Cloud Administrator with a primary focus on Cloud Security.
I have a strong passion for growing my knowledge in Cloud and Cloud Security. At the moment, I’m working towards my AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator certification, with plans to pursue the AZ-500: Microsoft Azure Security Technologies next. I’ve also completed several Microsoft Ninja trainings and will be pursuing more of these so I can gain as much knowledge as I possibly can.
Beyond studying and learning, I love sharing knowledge. Whether that’s through in-person or online conversations, training sessions, or helping others solve problems. I also try to inspire people to do the same.
My ambition is becoming an expert in the field of Cloud Security as well as becoming an MCT so I can pass on what I have learned during my journey.
Looking forward to connecting, exchanging ideas, and learning from all of you!

Hey everyone!
My name is Gustavo, but you can call me Gus (that’s how my international friends pronounce my name when they can’t pronounce it properly, haha). I love it.
To be honest, I don’t know who or what I am today. I studied software engineering but never worked with it. My entire career has been working with data! After some years, I discovered another passion: cloud computing. So, can I say that I’m actually a cloud data engineer? I think so.
I’m currently working with FinOps, DevOps, and AI multi-agents (also known as genetics), and I’m particularly interested in Gemini, Copilot, GPT-based models, and CrewAI. I love working with all of these things.
On a different note, I organize and manage some tech groups here in my state and abroad. One of them is the Google Developer Group, which focuses on cloud computing as its primary focus. I’m also starting a new group that focuses on Azure and data fields that Microsoft has already made available.
I believe technology should be a bridge, not a barrier, and I strive to connect people and make it possible for everyone to benefit from it.
Let’s connect! Reach me out at:

Welcome, Gus!
My name is Saul Patino, a newly minted MCT from Texas, USA. I am currently working as an Enterprise Solution Architect and with my 10+ years of cloud computing, I feel I can provide experiences from my unique journey as well as allow me to learn from you all. My first forte into Azure was migrations but now I like focusing on Architecture and making sure the "big picture" is healthy and secure.

That's awesome, Saul! Welcome! If you ever feel like running a session for us! The Call to speakers link is: https://sessionize.com/azure-cloud-commanders - so feel free to submit a session and we can book something in!
Hey Luke, I am coming up with youtube series on architecture frameworks but made a retrospective session discussing them all and how they play well together. I have submitted it, let me know if that is what you were looking for.

Hi all! My name is Joshua and I'm from Leipzig, Germany.
I have a background in customer support (mostly retail) and am now building my career path in the IT field, specifically as a Support Engineer.
So far, Cloud Computing has peaked my interest the most. Azure is a lot of fun to learn and an absolutely impressive platform. The combination of ease of use, scalability, and high availability is amazing.
Happy to join the community and learn 😇- lukemurraynzLearn Expert
