It’s a turbulent time with all the AI ​​developments going on. Developers are confronted with the rise of AI in their daily work. While some are concerned that AI will take over their jobs, the real power of AI lies in enhancing our skills, not replacing them. In this presentation, we’ll show you how GitHub Copilot Workspace can help you as an AI-powered intern.

Willem is a software architect and technology advocate at Info Support. He mostly works on AI projects and love to write about the stuff that I do with machine learning. But that’s not all I do, I have a long running career in software development with various programming languages such as Java, C#, and Python.

He's the author of the book "Deep learning with Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit quick start guide". He wrote the book mostly for fun and because he wanted to learn about writing a book. But it’s definitely a good read when you want to learn about CNTK and deep learning.

Since 2018, he has been part of the Global AI Community and is now running it with a group of friends that he met in the community. As part of this work and other things he's been doing in the community in the past 5 years he has received 5 MVP awards from Microsoft.

His background is in software engineering so he's not a traditional data science person. He likes to combine his knowledge of DevOps and data science to bring models to production in a sensible way.

He studied electronics but quickly discovered he had more fun building software rather than soldering circuit boards. This led to his decision to leave the world of electronics and find a career in software engineering. After he finished his bachelor in software engineering he started working for Info Support where he has been working ever since.
