Stop Watching AI Demos. Start Using It | PART 1

In this hands-on session, I’ll walk through how I use AI as part of my daily development workflow at Microsoft. No hype, no theory, just real tasks: triaging issues, reviewing pull requests, writing code, exploring unfamiliar APIs, refactoring, debugging, learning faster, and thinking through problems. You’ll see what works, what doesn’t, how I prompt, how I iterate, and how I decide when AI helps... And when it doesn’t.

Meet Gerald Versluis, software engineer at Microsoft, who wields the power of .NET MAUI to conquer any project that comes his way. With a career spanning over a decade, he's tackled it all, from frontend to backend and everything in between, using Azure, ASP.NET, and all the other .NET goodies. But it wasn't until he discovered the magic of Xamarin that he truly fell in love with mobile and cross-platform development, becoming an active community member and sharing his knowledge through writing, tweeting, and presentations. When he's not saving the world of software, you can find him on Twitter @jfversluis, blogging at https://blog.verslu.is, or making videos on his YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/GeraldVersluis.
