I've joined Microsoft in 2010 after working for over 10 years as software architect with Java and Linux technologies. One of the main reasons to ‘join the dark side’ was the evolving Platform as a Service features of Microsoft Azure that provided a real new approach for Enterprise software development (Including open standard based light weight interfaces and the possibility to run non-dotNET workloads in the cloud). Since July 2016 I'm working on an IoT focused team at Microsoft Headquarters and support large partners in EMEA developing their IoT solutions.
