Stephen Walli
Principal Program Manager
Microsoft
I am a principal program manager in the Azure Office of the CTO and adjunct faculty at Carnegie Mellon University. I have worked with open source software in the product space for 30+ years. I have been a technical executive, a founder and consultant, a writer and author, a systems developer, a software construction geek, and a standards diplomat. Developing software engineering learning experiences for students in the natural lab of well-run open source projects is an area of deep interest for me, and enabling business people to better understand building better solutions for customers in open source community and deeper partnerships in open source nonprofits.
