Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrady Gaster is a seasoned software leader with 15 years of experience building cloud-native systems and developer tools, now focused on architecting practical AI agents and CoreAI workflows that make large-scale modernization repeatable. At Microsoft he has blended product, engineering, and developer advocacy across .NET, SignalR, microservices, and Azure integrations—work that spans both code (contributions to the Azure SDK for .NET and ASP.NET Core samples) and developer experience. He connects platforms like Microsoft Foundry, Copilot, GitHub, and Azure into production-ready automation rather than proof-of-concept demos, emphasizing reliable delivery over hype. Brady’s background ranges from hands-on .NET template and tooling development to leading demo-driven product marketing, giving him a rare mix of deep technical craft and storytelling for developer audiences. Based in Sammamish, WA, he applies a systems-first mindset to reduce friction in modernization efforts, often surfacing practical patterns from messy, real-world migrations.
