After 16 years at Microsoft working across .NET and Azure, and a stint leading Developer Relations at Auth0, he now heads DevRel at UiPath. He focuses on how to make AI agents actually survive the real world. His talks tackle the specific challenges of shipping governed agentic workflows—moving beyond straightforward demos to build durable, recoverable systems using inspectable traces and rigorous evaluations. ## Past Sessions ### World Congress 2026 Europe · July 8, 2026 Berlin, Germany - [Trust, but Verify: Building a Document Agent That Survives Production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2026-europe/sessions/1446-trust-but-verify) · 120 min - [Trust, but Verify: Building a Document Agent That Survives Production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/events/world-congress-2026-europe/sessions/1447-trust-but-verify) · 120 min ## Links - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cliffsimpkins/)
