Sascha Corti

👋 Hi! I'm Sascha, a senior software engineer working for Microsoft since 2000 in the Industrial Software Engineering department, developing solutions based on Microsoft cloud technology together with customers to help solve their problems. I am currently focusing on GenAI solutions and previously worked on several industrial Internet of Things projects.

I used to work as a Developer Evangelist at Microsoft for about 18 years, teaching the developer community about the latest trends and technologies in the software development space.

From 1997 to 2000, I worked as a systems engineer for Silicon Graphics, focusing on Irix/Linux/Windows interoperability, SGI's then new Windows based Visual Workstations and managed their Swiss website.

From 1988 to 1997 I worked as a software tester, software engineer and later software team lead for Credit Suisse's life insurance branch called CS Life. I lead a team in setting up their internet presence, building an intranet for knowledge-management and developing accounting systems and life insurance policy information systems.

Off work, I love computer games, movies and TV shows, reading - mostly science fiction and specifically cyberpunk, hiking, biking, I am an electric car aficionado since 2012 and a cat lover.

I have always been drawn to technology, starting at a young age in the 1980. My first computer was a Commodre 64 on which, besides playing games, I taught myself how to program Basic. In a world of digital natives and digital immigrants, I would call myself a digital settler, having bought domains and created webpages in the early 1990 whn everyone thought I was crazy and the internet was just a short-lived hype.
