Microsoft, Principal Cloud Advocate, Connecting people, places and things for the enablement of everyone.

As a Microsoft Principal Cloud Advocate, Anthony Bartolo takes great pride in architecting and carrying out "scientific experiments" that use Microsoft technology and services to solve a customer problem or opportunity. Anthony achieves this through hackathons with industry leaders to test hypotheses and develop Proof of Concepts (PoC) using Microsoft cloud services. Some of the more fascinating Proof of Concepts developed involve teaching drones to recognize items to aid in search and rescue efforts and automating research through Azure. Functions for extracting information from social media to assist law enforcement in the search for missing children. The community as a whole is then made aware of the outcomes and best practices of these and other projects in an effort to upskill everyone. Anthony regularly conducts conversations on Twitter @WirelessLife.
