Hi, I'm Taswar. 👋  I've been writing about .NET, C#, and cloud since 2009 — starting on a small WordPress blog at [taswar.zeytinsoft.com](https://taswar.zeytinsoft.com), when Silverlight was still a thing and everyone was arguing about whether jQuery counted as a real framework. That blog is still going. Recent posts range from *"Law of Demeter with a girlfriend-contacts-list analogy"* (2009, aged surprisingly well) to *"Microsoft Foundry"*.  By day I work as a **Lead AI & Security Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft**, focused on AI, security, and helping enterprise customers ship things that actually work in production.   Outside of work, I:  - **Speak at conferences**, Oredev, UpdateConf, .NET Summit, AgentCon, including NDC — recent talk: *"Agents That Talk Back: MCP, ACP, A2A, Oh My!"* - **Run a weekly LinkedIn newsletter** called [*5 Highlights Thursday*](https://www.linkedin.com/in/taswarbhatti/) — five links, five short takes, every Thursday for over 115 editions and counting - **Started giving talks** at the Ottawa .NET User Group and have been steadily annoying my coworkers ever since with unsolicited PR comments
