How I architected a single codebase to seamlessly switch between Azure OpenAI, GitHub Models, Ollama, and Foundry Local without touching the API service When building my latest .NET Aspire application, I faced a common challenge: how do you develop and test with different AI providers without constantly rewriting your API service? The answer turned out to be surprisingly elegant - a configuration-driven approach that lets you switch between four different AI providers with zero code changes.

As I’m flying from Oslo to Amsterdam, I’m still buzzing with energy and inspiration from NDC Oslo 2025. It was an incredible week of learning, sharing, and connecting with some of the brightest minds in technology. From thought-provoking keynotes that challenged our assumptions to the epic The Linebreakers concert at Brewgata, every moment reinforced why each NDC conference but NDC Oslo remains one of the premier developer conferences in the world.

I’m excited to preview my upcoming NDC Oslo talk, “Resilient by Design”, where I’ll share how to architect Azure systems that not only survive failure but continue running smoothly when disruptions occur (NDC). Join me on to explore core resilience principles, Azure-native tools, and proven best practices for maintaining high availability in real-world scenarios (Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Learn). Whether you’re new to Azure or looking to optimize an existing environment, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to anticipate, mitigate, and recover from failures (Microsoft Learn).

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be delivering two sessions at Techorama Belgium 2025! Join me as we explore the cutting edge of .NET, AI, and cloud resilience with actionable strategies, demos, and real-world insights. Techorama Belgium is a premier tech conference that brings together developers, architects, and IT professionals to share knowledge and network with industry leaders. This year, I’m excited to be part of the lineup!

Two Incredible Years at Microsoft: A Journey of Growth, Connection, and Remote Collaboration # As I sit at my desk, keyboard beneath my fingertips, I’m reminded that it’s been two years since I first embarked on my journey with Microsoft. Joining during COVID meant that I did not get the onboarding experiences of a lot of Microsoft employees, a trip and onboarding in Redmond. Today, as I write this reflection, I’m filled with a mixture of nostalgia and pride over how much I, and the team I belong to, have grown-despite the miles that separate us.

I’ve got a template straight from Microsoft. I want this wired into a CI/CD pipeline to I can play around and get quick feedback. I’m going to use Azure DevOps to help make all this possible. Let’s get those templates into a repository to get started. New repository, initialize it, add new files. Next, I’m going to create a new resource group to play around with my web app resources.
