# Roelant Dieben
Azure & AI MVP building stateful agentic systems at Sopra Steria.

## About

Roelant Dieben architects cloud and AI solutions at Sopra Steria. As a Microsoft Azure & AI MVP, he focuses on moving past simple chatbots to design stateful, context-aware agentic applications.

Having built software on the Microsoft stack for twenty years, he knows how to orchestrate complex systems using the Model Context Protocol and human-in-the-loop oversight. He teaches masterclasses on turning raw language models into modular, compliant application components.

He jokingly admits he has plenty of knowledge to share about software that has been obsolete for years.
