Susanne Bach Ladefoged Hou

Susanne (She/Her) is a C# backend engineer in the .NET stack who loves clean, maintainable code, automating the boring stuff, and letting tools like Renovate do the heavy lifting. She started her career as a full-stack developer, but these days she’s all about backend magic—automation, productivity, and delving into the depths of Agentic development. As an international conference speaker, Susanne shares clear, relatable stories about building software, working smarter with automation, and boosting developer productivity, all delivered in a practical, approachable, and yes, sometimes fun way. She also champions inclusive, neurodiverse-friendly environments in tech. When she’s not coding or speaking, Susanne enjoys exploring creative projects and slaying demons in Diablo IV. Her approach to work and life is rooted in curiosity, creativity, and finding joy in the process—whether that’s writing code, telling stories, or leveling up her character in-game.
