Two weeks ago, I had an exciting milestone in my career. I gave my first international talk at Future Tech NL in the Netherlands! 🎉 Having the opportunity to speak internationally for the first time was both exciting and nerve-wracking.
My session, “Simplifying Distributed Systems with Microsoft Orleans”, explored how Orleans helps developers build scalable, resilient distributed applications with ease. I walked through:
- Why distributed systems are hard and how Orleans makes them easier
- The actor model & virtual actors in Orleans
- State management and persistence
- Scalability
With live demos, I showed how Orleans abstracts complexity while ensuring high performance. It was great to see so many attendees excited about Orleans, and I had some fantastic chats afterward with developers eager to try it out!
You can find the slides and demo code from my session below:

Future Tech NL was a great conference, filled with many great sessions. I really enjoyed catching up with the community and having insightful discussions. Huge thanks to the organizers for an incredible event and for having me as a speaker! And also a huge thanks to all attendees for attending my session and for the great questions and discussions afterward. I hope to see you all again at future events! 🙌
