Join Casey Watson, Principal Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft, for an interactive session on building open-source products that customers truly love. Through a personal story of change, conflict, and growth, Casey encourages the audience to think beyond architectural concerns like reliability, performance, and security into broader areas like competitive insights, organizational dynamics, and economics. Drawing from real Microsoft open-source projects, he shows how these product considerations directly shape design and development. Casey then weaves these insights into actionable advice on growing your career and standing out in today’s highly competitive employment landscape.
