The mission and scope of the identity team at Microsoft keeps growing – and we need great people to keep the momentum!

Here there’s a handful of developer and leadership positions right in my immediate team:

About one year ago, I was all excited to finally hold in my hands the thing that swallowed most of the weekends and vacation days of 2015: a paper copy of my latest book, “Modern Authentication with Azure Active Directory for web Applications”. And I just realized I never wrote an “announcement” […]

Few years ago I wrote a post about how you can obtain the ID of a tenant from one of its domains. Something so simple, and yet I am told that it ended up to be of use for lots of people. Yay!

I will be presenting a couple of sessions at Techorama […]
