Hello all!!! I am DeVaris Brown and this is my introductory post to my new blog devaris.com. Currently I am an Academic Developer Evangelist for Microsoft covering the Heartland Region (MI, OH, KY, TN). I always get asked what a Developer Evangelist is so here goes… My job is to create awareness and excitement around Microsoft products and offerings for academia. We, Microsoft, have a ton of offerings available for faculty and students to get the skills to be better prepared for the job market. We also want to encourage students to become passionate about technology so we give away our tools and resources to aid in the realization of your dreams. There are no hooks or malintent. We really are trying to invest in the future of academia.
Over the coming days, weeks, months, and years, I will showcase different technologies, bring up topics to inspire conversations, and give a peek into my life as I travel around the country evangelizing technology. Stay tuned and I guarantee you’ll be entertained and inspired.
