I speak at Microsoft user groups, community meetups and college events on Microsoft Azure, Azure AI, GitHub Copilot and cross-platform mobile. Below are the sessions I'm giving now, and the earlier ones that got me started.
The short version: I'm Suthahar Jegatheesan, a software architect who speaks on Azure cloud architecture, Azure OpenAI and RAG, GitHub Copilot, and .NET MAUI and Flutter. Community sessions and student sessions, across Malaysia, APAC and India. If you're organising one, write to me.
Speaking today: 2023 to now
- Microsoft User Group MalaysiaRecurring, Malaysia & APACA regular speaker for the Microsoft developer community across Malaysia and the wider APAC region: Azure cloud architecture, AI integration and .NET MAUI mobile development.
- Azure AI and Azure OpenAI2023 to nowLive sessions and demos on RAG pipelines, AI agents and intelligent workflow automation with Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Foundry, Bot Framework and Cognitive Services. Production patterns, not theory.
- GitHub Copilot and AI-assisted developmentOngoingCopilot agents and subagents, custom skills, PR review automation and prompt libraries, plus the workflow changes that turn Copilot into real throughput instead of fancy autocomplete. Drawn from the production setup I built for my own engineering team, and backed by the GitHub Copilot certification (GH-300).
- .NET MAUI and cross-platform mobileOngoingHands-on sessions on .NET MAUI and Flutter: architecture patterns, offline-first design, and moving existing cross-platform codebases onto modern frameworks.
