Suzanne Daniels

Suzanne Daniels guides engineering leaders through the realities of AI adoption and developer experience. At Microsoft, she helps teams build software faster while maintaining strict guardrails.

With three decades in engineering, she still thinks in systems and constraints. Suzanne focuses on making trade-offs consumable by AI agents. She built Git-Ape, an open-source platform where specialized agents deploy Azure infrastructure only after passing hard security and cost checks. Her talks break down how to encode compliance as policy-as-code, proving that agents need strict limits, not just good prompts.
