Tamir Dresher
Head of Architecture
Session Title:
Processing asynchronous data streams. NET.
Session Synopsis:
Asynchronous data processing and events are at the heart of any scalable system and interactive applications. Over the years, the industry developed many techniques, frameworks, and patterns to make it easier for developers to add asynchronicity to their code and .NET was no exception. He will teach you what asynchronous streams mean in C# and how you can leverage them to build complex asynchronous pipelines inside your .NET applications.

Marco De Sanctis
Cloud Consultant and Microsoft MVP
Session Title:
Running SaaS multi-tenant applications with ASP.NET Core and Azure
Session Synopsis:
Real-world multi-tenant applications are conceptually simple, but hide lots of complexities under the hood: when confidential data of multiple clients coexist under the same platform, you must ensure that data is kept segregated at any layer of your architecture. During this talk we'll try to demystify some of these aspects, analyzing how we can build a SaaS application in ASP.NET Core, secure it via Azure AD B2C, and deliver it via the Azure infrastructure. We'll investigate how to use policies in our server-side logic and even at the database level (via SQL Server's Row Level Security) to ensure data is kept segregated even when running on a shared infrastructure.
About Marco
He has an incredible passion for technology & has been working with .NET since the first beta - focusing on ASP.NET and on anything that is web related. Marco has been an early adopter of Microsoft Azure & today he works as a freelance Solutions Architect in beautiful London, focusing on Cloud transformation. Getting involved in the .NET & Azure community is also a key aspect of his profession and he's convinced that knowledge sharing is one of the best ways to improve our professional skills. Thanks to that, he's been awarded a Microsoft MVP for the last 13 years in a row.

Luis Fraile
Senior DevOps Engineer
Session Title:
Facilitate remote/on-site hybrid development with GitHub Codespaces for .NET Core
Session Synopsis:
At this moment, a lot of development teams work on hybrid remote/on-site environments, with all the (technical (advantages and disadvantages it has. But at some points it makes it difficult, to change from different computers, set up several environments, carry the laptop, etc. We will learn how to use GitHub Codespaces to have our development environment always ready in the cloud, no matter where we are or what local equipment we have, how to customize it for .NET Core, and adapt it to the different needs of different projects we may have.
About Luis
He's working in software development since the year 2000 and is passionate about it. I always try to make the development team's life easier, through recommended practices depending on the teams, with agile methodologies, a DevOps mindset, always striving for change and improvement on delivery value to customers. Microsoft MVP since 2007.

George Onofrei
Software Architect
Session Title:
Architecting an Enterprise Cloud transition
Session Synopsis:
In this presentation, we will discuss a few concerns about moving an enterprise from on-premise to cloud. We will first define the type of system we are addressing and then explore why we are making the shift in the first place. Following this, we will get right into some infrastructure and application concerns, concluding with what an architect's responsibilities are in this transformation.
About George
During my 11+ years of development, I've worked with individuals, startups, and established enterprises to meet their business needs, often in the online domain. It is not always simple to move a project from the planning to the production stages, but a strong team with the correct motivation may succeed at any moment. I am a firm believer in Agile teams (programmers, testers, business analysts, marketers, you name it) that collaborate to enhance the development process and offer the business the tools it requires to generate money and remain ahead of the competition. I am enthusiastic about code quality; therefore, anything related to code refactoring, application architecture, design patterns, enterprise architecture, and any standards that take software to the next level piques my attention. Throughout the years, I've shifted from backend-only development to full-stack development to address a wider variety of customer requirements and learn software development from as many perspectives as possible. I'm focused on the most recent stable technology to capitalize on its advantages while minimizing risks to match business plans. On the backend, I've mostly worked with.NET and C#, as well as NodeJs and TypeScript. On the front end, I often use Angular and React, both of which are always written in TypeScript.
