SECURING OUR SPOT IN THE SEMI-FINALS! 🔥

Action figures are cool and all, but I'm much more of a LEGO fan myself #ChatGPT #openaigpt

Today was my last day at Mantel Group! For my first job in Australia, it's been a fantastic experience working with some very talented engineers and interesting clients. I start my new gig on Monday, so stay tuned for what I'm doing next!

Hey Packt Publishing, I recently ordered a book and the pages have been printed out in the wrong order 😟 Who can I talk to about getting a replacement?

Today was my first day back at Microsoft! I've rejoined as a Senior Software Engineer working in the Industry Solutions Engineering team based in Melbourne. If you're wondering who ISE is, you should check out the playbook: microsoft.github.io/code-with-engi…

GPT 4.1 came out today, so I played around with it and integrated it with a simple Semantic Kernel app using #GitHub Models: willvelida.com/posts/semantic… #GenAI #OpenAI

I've been trying to learn about AFL and MCP (Model Context Protocol), so I decided to kill two birds with one stone and build an MCP server that calls AFL data. I've written about how it, and MCP, works on my blog: willvelida.com/posts/mcp-serv… #MCP #dotnet

This moment will be a core memory for me. First time at the Emirates - Before the corner was taken, I saw Reiss Nelson just chilling at the edge of the boxed, unmarked. He was always going to score.

Trent Alexander-Arnold booed by the Liverpool fans as he comes on. You’ll Never Walk Alone. Unless you win every major honour in the game for your boyhood club and leave for a non rival on a free transfer.

Rainy days are meant for blogging. I'm getting my head around how we can build AI Agents in Azure (even though that means getting my hands dirty with Python 🫠😅), so here's a blog post on how you can get started: willvelida.com/posts/azure-ai… #Azure #AI #Agents

ICYMI - My talk on Platform Engineering in #Azure from #NDCMelbourne is now available on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=E5YFLC…

Over the next month, I'll be smashing out some push ups in The Push-Up challenge to help raise awareness for better mental health for all Australians. If you're willing and able, I'd really appreciate it if you're able to donate: thepushupchallenge.com.au/s/603820/850357 #MentalHealth

I'm learning how observability works for #Azure AI Agents, and how we can use #OpenTelemetry tracing to see how agents make decision when attempting tasks. I've written a blog post on how it works using Python (a language I will never love): willvelida.com/posts/azure-ai…

I’m completing The Push-Up Challenge to level up mental health in Australia and would love your help to reach my fundraising target. All funds raised will support much-needed mental health services and initiatives in Australia. thepushupchallenge.com.au/s/603820/85035…

During my lunch break today, I managed to get my AFL MCP server deployed to #Azure Container Apps. I'll write up a blog post on the details later, but for now the code is on my GitHub: github.com/willvelida/mcp…
