Anthony Bartolo, Senior Cloud Advocate, Microsoft
As a Sr. Cloud Advocate for Microsoft, Anthony takes great pride in architecting and conducting “science experiments” to incorporate Microsoft technology and services to address a customer problem or opportunity. Anthony accomplishes this by conducting hackathons with industry-leading organizations to test theories and create Proof of Concepts (PoC) using Microsoft cloud services. Some of the more interesting Proof of Concepts completed have included teaching drones to identify objects to aid in search and rescue efforts and automating research via Azure Functions to extract information from social media to aid law enforcement in finding children reported missing. Results and best practices of these and other projects are then shared openly with the community at large to help upskill everyone. Anthony regularly conducts conversations on Twitter @WirelessLife and regularly submits blog content to http://www.ITOpsTalk.com.
