Bertrand Desmarest is a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft with over eight years of full-stack platform experience and more than two decades in enterprise software across .NET, Java, C#, and cloud-native Azure services. He currently contributes to Copilot Studio’s front-end UX and has a track record of designing secure, scalable features—most notably a Dataverse virtual tables security model leveraging managed identities and on-behalf-of authentication. His career spans reliability, escalation, and customer-facing roles that blend deep production troubleshooting with proactive automation and CI/CD work, reducing incidents and support load. Bertrand pairs backend systems expertise (Dataverse plugins, Azure functions, SQL/DB optimizations) with modern front-end engineering (React, TypeScript) to deliver end-to-end solutions. He is pragmatic about performance and operability, having implemented tools and monitors that materially improved live-site stability and reduced support calls. Based in Bellevue, WA, he combines enterprise-grade delivery with a curious, cross-stack mindset informed by advanced studies at UW and Georgia Tech.
