⚡️ David Warner (PopWarner 🏈) https://warner.digital 🌎 Los Angeles, CA ⌛ I've started with SharePoint in 2007 at Union Bank of California back when one day my boss said, "We got this thing called SharePoint. I don't know what it is, but now it's all yours!"....Uhhhh....so the rest of my life was born! I really enjoyed "Making SharePoint not look like SharePoint", implementing lots of very cool UX/UI SP and later SPO experiences that you wouldn't even be able to tell were SP. Fast forward to today and I still love it, especially working with the greater M365 & Power Platform Community (https://community.ms/), helping host the community calls and awesome programs such as the Recognition Program and Sharing is Caring! I'm inspired by the community everyday! 💜🧡 🏈🏒 🗣️ |

Hi everyone, so excited to join this event and connect with all of you! 😊 ⚡️ I go by many nicknames, but my real name is Carlo! 🌎 Udine, Italy ⌛ I stumbled upon SharePoint by chance in late 2020, when I was working as a communications specialist. I was assigned a project in collaboration with the IT department, and they suggested I used Microsoft SharePoint. From there, it was love at first sight. I love pushing the boundaries of SharePoint design, I love trying out new features and use it to communicate with everyone in the company! 🐶 In my free time, I like writing, reading, taking photos, and have breakfast with a good latte macchiato and a cake. Good luck to everyone participating in the Hackathon! ❤️ PS. You can find me on LinkedIn |

Hi everyone, so excited to join this event and connect with all of you! 😊 ⚡️ I'm Toshiki, but feel free to call me Toshi! 🌎 Tokyo, Japan ⌛ I'm a student deeply passionate about AI, data science, and building autonomous developer agents. While I might be newer to the deep ends of SharePoint, I'm joining this hackathon to explore how AI agents can seamlessly integrate with its knowledge base to automate and supercharge workflows. 🐶 In my free time, you'll probably find me training for an Ironman race or HYROX, practicing Judo, or trying to climb the ranks in Blitz chess. I love pushing limits, both physically and mentally! Good luck to everyone participating in the Hackathon! Let's build something awesome! ❤️🚀 |

⚡️ Greg Melson (Greg / @gregmelson) Fast forward, and I’ve built structured, searchable systems that teams now trust as their source of truth - no more FINAL_v3_REALfinal_THISONE_NOREALLY.xlsx. Along the way, I’ve added workflows and “SMART” structures that quietly make everyone’s life easier. I’m especially curious about where automation can evolve from “helpful” to “almost magical.” |

⚡️ Fabian Hutzli 🌎 Bern, Switzerland ⌛ My SharePoint story started around 2008. Back then, there was literally a server sitting under a desk that we turned into a growing collaboration environment. We installed MOSS 2007. Over the following years, I worked as a consultant, helping organizations build and operate SharePoint environments. From complex on-prem farms and migrations to performance tuning and governance discussions, SharePoint was never just “a tool.” Six years ago, I started a new chapter at die Mobiliar, where we designed and built a brand-new intranet as part of our cloud strategy — now fully running on SharePoint Online. We also run a open source project: https://www.puntobello.ch/en/ 🐶 Photographer and Motorsport enthusiast, if possible I combine both visiting major events like Le Mans 24h, Spa 24h. I also have a Sim Rig at home. 🔗 LinkedIn: |

Hello everyone, ⚡️ My name is Vipul Jain (Vips) 🌎 Bengaluru, India ⌛ I've started with SharePoint back in 2008 working with server object model, CSOM, add-ins, SPFx, SharePoint Online, Power Platform and so on. I have designed and developed out-of-the-box and custom SharePoint solutions including SPFx web parts, extensions, automation workflows, and user-friendly interfaces that improve collaboration and productivity. I enjoy creating solutions that simplify complex business processes and enhance the SharePoint user experience. I am currently working in Bosch as M365 and Power Platform Solution Architect in the Silicon Valley of India (i.e. Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore). I am the group owner of Jaipur Power Platform User Group and Jaipur Microsoft Community (https://community.powerplatform.com/usergroups/details/?groupid=6cfd4d37-1ae7-ef11-a731-7c1e52687e9d) and also create technical content on my YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/VipulJainEducation 💡 🐶 I enjoy spending time with family, participating in community events, and exploring new ideas that inspire creativity. Additionally, I love reading and writing books and I am a published author who wrote a book on "Getting started with SharePoint Framework (SPFx)" - https://www.amazon.in/Getting-Started-SharePoint-Framework-SPFx/dp/8194334462/ref=sr_1_1 🔗 LinkedIn: |

⚡️ Yuki Yoshida 🌎 Saitama, Japan ⌛ My first experience with SharePoint began with a platform migration from Lotus Notes to SharePoint 2010. During this transition, I reimplemented many existing applications on SharePoint. These were not limited to information sharing sites; they also included numerous request and approval workflows developed using SharePoint Designer. After that, I worked on several projects involving migrations to SharePoint Online and the Power Platform, making SharePoint the core of my professional experience. Currently, I focus on consulting around the adoption and effective use of Microsoft 365 Copilot, and I am very excited about the continued evolution of AI-powered features in SharePoint. 🐶 Going on family trips to visit zoos and aquariums. 🚀 Let’s enjoy the journey of SharePoint as it continues to evolve with AI, and explore together how these new capabilities can transform the way we work and collaborate. 🔗 LinkedIn: |

⚡️ Rahul Kaklotar 🌎 Surat, Gujarat, India ⌛ I have 5 years of total professional experience, with 3 years dedicated to SharePoint and O365 development, complemented by 2+ years in front-end development. My work focuses on building modern, scalable solutions using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx) and leveraging the Power Platform to drive enterprise workflow efficiency. I’m particularly passionate about architecting decoupled solutions—integrating SPFx with Azure Functions to handle complex logic while keeping the UI performant and responsive. I love bridging the gap between legacy processes and modern, automated Microsoft 365 environments. 🐶 My favorite non-technical hobby is exploring local trails and photography; there’s nothing quite like getting out of the city to recharge in nature. |

⚡️ Lance Masina / LDMasina 🌎 Vilnius, Lithuania (Originally from Brisbane, Australia) ⌛ My journey with SharePoint began in 2018 when by sheer luck when I was granted SharePoint Administrator access by accident (clearly a governance fail on the part of my previous employer.) from here I began to develop some robust content management, enterprise-wide onboarding, knowledge base and workflows for various divisions within the business. This self-taught experience allowed me to deepen my technical skills (still learning) in SPFx pivot careers into a SharePoint/M365 Consultant now building Intranets utilizing the out-of-the-box features and customized solution via PnP Modern Search, Enterprise Cloud migrations (content and metadata architecture) etc. Currently I am building skills for more agentic solutions rollout in SharePoint via Copilot Studio. 🐶 My fav hobby is travel (with my beautiful wife and/or solo) and surfing, I cannot get enough of the sun and water. PS. I acknowledge i'm coming into this a bit late in the game, but I am more than willing to churn out something with the less time that is available. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn |

Hi everyone 👋 ⚡️My name is Sandro. 🌎 I’m from Bern, Switzerland. ⌛ I’ve been developing SharePoint solutions for about 4-5 years now. Before moving into this role, I was studying at the University of Applied Sciences. I’m passionate about building solutions in SharePoint and across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. One of the things I enjoy most about this field is that there is always something new to learn. Currently, I’m part of a great team that creates and maintains a large and exciting SharePoint intranet for a company here in Switzerland. Outside of work, I’m a big technology enthusiast. My interests range from software development to experimenting with 3D printing at home. 🐶 In my spare time, I also enjoy staying active. At the moment, my main activities are cycling and kettlebell training. Looking forward to connecting with you all and learning from the community! |

⚡️ Federico Porceddu 🌎 Sardinia, Italy ⌛I’m Federico Porceddu, Modern Workplace Solution Architect at Avanade Italy, Microsoft 365 MVP focused on Microsoft 365 Development and Copilot Extensibility. I’ve been working with Microsoft 365 and SharePoint technologies for more than 15 years, designing enterprise solutions that combine Microsoft and open-source technologies. I’m passionate about building modern workplace applications with SharePoint, Microsoft 365, and AI, especially exploring how Copilot and extensibility can unlock new developer scenarios.

👋 Nicole Beck Dekkara 🗂️ For over 13 years I've been living and breathing SharePoint from the Product Owner & Corporate Communications side, bridging the gap between what the business dreams of and what actually gets built. 😄 I've led and shaped company intranets from the ground up, and what excites me most right now is how SharePoint Online keeps raising the bar for what "engaging" and "connected" truly means for employees. I bring the strategy, the storytelling, and the stakeholder wrangling, so the devs can focus on the magic. ✨ 🎨 Looking forward to being inspired, learning from all of you, and cheering on every creative idea this hackathon brings! Let's make something beautiful. 🚀 |
