About Randy

As a Principal Trainer at Xebia USA and a Microsoft MVP in Developer Tools and DevOps, I focus on growing our GitHub and AI training portfolio and improving how we deliver it as a team. I design and deliver practical, hands-on programs covering GitHub Copilot, Actions, Advanced Security, Prompt Engineering, and more. Courses are built around real-world scenarios and flexible formats—from in-person workshops to on-demand content—to meet learners where they are. I’m committed to maintaining high-quality standards, supporting trainer growth, and helping teams confidently adopt modern DevOps and AI-driven development practices.

Previously, I spent over 17 years at Microsoft, where I helped shape the FastTrack for Azure program from its pilot phase into a global success. My passion for clear, engaging training has been a constant through every role.
