## About

Stuart van der Lee builds cloud architecture and AI systems as a DevOps engineer at Sopra Steria. Recognized as a Microsoft Azure and AI MVP, he focuses on modern programming languages and the evolving tooling around DevOps.

His work centers on moving beyond simple chatbots to assemble agentic applications. He teaches developers how to construct stateful, governed systems using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), memory integration, and human-in-the-loop oversight.

When he steps away from the keyboard, Stuart follows F1 racing, cycles, plays golf, and lifts weights.
