It has been a tough few months for me outside of my professional life, but tonight I got an email that helped things feel better. I'm excited and honoured to announce that I've been renewed into the Microsoft MVP program for a second year. I've also been added to the DevOps category :)

I had such an amazing time at #NDCMelbourne this year, between presenting my own talk and catching some more amazing sessions I totally forgot to take any photos.
Thanks to the @ndcconferences.com crew for running a great event!

On the way home from #MVPSummit. It has been an amazing week but also pretty overwhelming. Glad I got to catch up with fellow MVPs and the teams at Microsoft. Now to just get through this 15 hour flight then sleep for 24 hours.

Ok now in Seattle, and it's raining and cold ... This is amazing! just like winter in Melbourne (my favorite time of year). Though the surge pricing on the uber put a dampener on that, but you can't win them all. Now it's time to fall into a coma after 24 hours of travel.

I wanted to rebrand a bit from the dmcasaservice to Dylan DevEx, as it's a bit closer to what I talk about.

Have been giving multiple internal sessions at work on Microsoft DevBox and how we can use IaC to not only deploy the service but also do image customisation. Most stuff is positive but man I cannot wait until the new custom image creation options are in, using AIB is a pain.

Well looks like my trip to Singapore has ended on a slightly down note, caught COVID-19 on the way back. I think I'm going to need to get some more comfortable masks to wear while travelling more.

Day 2 of DevOpsCon, had a great panel session on AI that I was invited to participate in. Lots of engineers want to do more with AI but just don't know where to start or how best to use the tools.
