Brief background about you?

I’ve been working with software since the IBM PC was unveiled, and have worked with Azure since its announcement. When I’m not behind a screen, I’m shooting photos, cycling, or spending time with the family (and not necessarily in that order).

I love software construction, and I like to blog about it. I specialize in Microsoft’s Windows Azure cloud computing platform, so that tends to be my most frequent topic. I currently work for Microsoft, and I hold the dubious honor of being the world’s first former Windows Azure MVP.

What inspired you to speak at this event?

This conference is all about real-world OSS software development and stories based on hands-on experience. These are great learnings to share.

Why it will be helpful for people to attend. What will they get out of your session specifically?

My sessions are data-focused, helping people make decisions on the types of databases they might choose, and how to model their data.

Where can people see/listen/read more about you?

I’m most active on Twitter: @dmakogon, and I also have a cloud computing page at Facebook.com/dmak.online
