Chilling with Satya Nadella CEO of Microsoft no biggie

Microsoft Build

Project Solara by is CRAZY 🤯

Access your AI agents on the go away from your computer… your AI can come anywhere with you!!! 🔥

Microsoft announced a portable wearable badge device built for on-the-go agent interactions, powered by Qualcomm silicon. Designed for the moments when you’re away from your desk, moving between meetings, traveling, or working hands-free in the field.

They demoed a healthcare use case live.

just announced OpenClaw running natively on Windows 🤯

OpenClaw is one of the most popular GitHub projects of all time— and it now runs natively on Windows. And the security and governance is enforced by the operating system itself, so no rogue agents.

This means you can run agents locally, execute multi-step workflows, access files and interact with networks.

How to know your toxic manager is trying to fire you:

1. Sudden shift in attitude / tone
2. Less visibility with leadership
3. Being removed from important projects
4. Being asked to document your work
5. Sudden extreme micromanagement
6. Talking badly about you to workers
7. Framing you for others’ mistakes
8. Withholding information from you
9. Denying all of your PTO
10. Gaslighting & making you question your sanity

Full circle that I keynoted Optimized AI conference after attending many years ago as a brand new data analyst full of imposter syndrome 🥹

It’s truly a reminder of how far I’ve come with all the hard work I’ve put into my learning and personal brand. I never would’ve DREAMED I’d be a speaker let alone in data & AI.

In my keynote, I talked all about how bad data leads to bad AI decision making and how many of these decisions affect real people’s lives. And you have no control over it.

We’re all at the mercy of data and algorithms.

I’m going to Build in Francisco 🎉

comment “build” for free digital registration!!

(maybe I’ll even steal more pillows IYKYK 😉)

The rate AI is moving right now is FAST which means we also have to move FAST when it comes to data, infrastructure, and technology.

Which is why I’m not going to Build for fluffy keynotes and info— I’m going to learn practical, hands-on skills that people ask me about every single day.

There’s going to be labs, hands-on demos, and real production problems hosted by the actual engineers who built the tools. There are SO MANY great sessions but…

Here are the 2 I’m most excited for:

↳ Cloud-Native PostgreSQL, Rebuilt for Scale: Azure HorizonDB
PostgreSQL completely re-architected for cloud-scale. We’re talking sub-millisecond latency and 3x the throughput of self-managed Postgres. As someone who’s been talking about SQL forever, I need to see this live!!

↳ Multi-agents in action with 3 AI agents, 3 frameworks, tools & models
A live demo where LangGraph, the .NET Microsoft Agent Framework, and the GitHub Copilot SDK run an entire content pipeline autonomously w/ zero manual steps.

I’m so excited for this event, and hope you join me!

The CEO of wrote his first line of code at 7 years old 🤯

It was a cat that blinked and was built in Basic. And he still remembers drawing the lines that made the eyes open and close.

Not bad for a 7 year old! That one coding project planted a small seed that encouraged his career choice to become an engineer.

Fast forward and Matt Hicks has been at Red Hat for 20 years and has worked across enough of the organization to eventually run it as CEO.

Here’s his take on coding in the age of AI:

↳ AI can code. But understanding what it’s doing is what actually matters.

↳ Most people are learning to prompt. You can’t do that without understanding what’s happening under the hood.

↳ You don’t need to be a software engineer. But you need enough context to not be completely dependent on outputs you can’t verify.

♻️ Repost for your network

I asked people at Conference what’s the coolest thing they’ve ever built in Tableau 👀

Save these for your next project!

↳ caught a fraud ring in Georgia (the country, not the state) before Visa even flagged it
↳ visualized years of marathon training data to optimize race performance
↳ mapped a road trip with shapefiles tracking every stop
↳ built a family tamale history dashboard that became one of their favorites
↳ a brand new user who just downloaded the desktop version, already building

Mine was my very first data analytics project. The one that got me into data and led to everything I’m doing today.

The project that changes everything is usually the one you built just because you wanted to. Not for a job or for a course. Just because the data meant something to you.

Thanks & for inviting me! Also shoutout to Slack for all of the cool data Slackbot demos, I’m BLOWN away!

If you’re not hustling on networking, you’re missing BIG opportunities. I’m interviewing the CEO of because of a LinkedIn comment.

I built a personal brand and companies started coming to ME. Executives seek me out. Brands PAY me to interview them.

But it started with one moment of just putting myself out there. And when you have real value to offer, executives say yes fast bc the deal makes sense for THEM too:

↳ They want visibility
↳ They want to say things on their own terms
↳ They want to reach new audiences

Build the brand first. Then the ask is the easy part. 💁🏻‍♀️
