I take AI agents from demo to production in real enterprises, and teach developers how to do it.

Microsoft MVP in AI · 🐳 Docker Captain · Director of AI @ OZ Digital · Community Leader · Author

By day I lead the AI Center of Excellence at OZ Digital, taking AI agents to production for enterprise clients. By night I turn what breaks there into samples, labs and talks, so other developers don't have to learn it the hard way.

• AI agents, orchestration and multi-agent patterns
• Enterprise Generative AI on Azure AI and Microsoft Foundry
• MCP servers and developer workflows
• Containerized AI tooling — devcontainers, compose stacks, signed OCI images
• Secure software supply chain for AI: SBOMs, SLSA provenance, reproducible CI
• Reference implementations that scale from demo to production

🔹 microsoft-foundry-throttling-samples   Your agent will get a 429. Throttling, bounded retries and pacing on Microsoft Foundry — Python and C# / .NET 10, a local simulator UI and Bicep.

🔹 mai-foundry-demos   Offline-first Streamlit demos for MAI models on Microsoft Foundry, with explicit LIVE/FALLBACK labels, API verification notes and Bicep infrastructure.

🔹 mcp-servers-microsoft-ecosystem   Community-curated catalog of MCP servers across the Microsoft ecosystem (Azure, M365, Fabric, Power Platform, GitHub, Copilot Studio) — complements the official microsoft/mcp with community implementations, clients, starters and security guidance.

🔹 AgentFrameworkDemos   AI agents, orchestration and real-world patterns with Microsoft Agent Framework on .NET.

🔹 AgentFX-MCP-MicrosoftLearn   Reference integration between Agent Framework and the Microsoft Learn MCP Server.

🔹 TravelMCP   End-to-end MCP server illustrating real-world tool workflows.

🔹 AzureOpenAI-EntraID-ConsoleApp   Enterprise-grade Azure OpenAI auth with Entra ID — production-ready patterns.

🔹 AI-Custom-Avatar   Azure AI Avatar Agent on .NET 10 + Blazor + .NET Aspire — Speech-to-Text, Azure OpenAI and a talking avatar with synchronized lip-sync. Built with Bruno Capuano.

🔹 VMAzureApp — Cloud VM Manager for Windows     Manage Azure VMs across all your subscriptions without opening the portal — start / stop / restart / hibernate with bulk actions, local scheduling and real-time power-state monitoring. WPF on .NET 10 with Entra ID sign-in, shipped as MSIX through GitHub Actions. Get it from the Microsoft Store.

🔹 agent-framework-devcontainer   Single-agent starter. Multi-stage Dockerfile (Alpine, non-root), Dev Container / Codespaces ready, docker compose up and you're running.

🔹 mcp-docker-starter   Polyglot compose: Python FastMCP server + .NET Agent Framework client, connected via SSE over a private bridge network. Service discovery, healthchecks, non-root everywhere.

🔹 ai-agents-compose-stack   Multi-agent workflow (Researcher → Writer) with Microsoft Agent Framework, OpenTelemetry + Aspire Dashboard observability — fully in Docker Compose. Published image ships multi-arch with SBOM + SLSA provenance.

🔹 docker-model-runner-lab   Hands-on lab for Docker Model Runner — run LLMs locally behind an OpenAI-compatible API with .NET and Docker Compose. No cloud, no API keys, nothing leaves your machine.

🔹 docker-model-runner-multi-sdk-demo   One endpoint, three SDKs: DMR serves the same local model through OpenAI, Anthropic and Ollama formats on a single port — dev/prod parity with Microsoft Foundry, six runnable Python + .NET examples.

Enterprises can't deploy unsigned samples. As a Docker Captain, every image I publish is multi-arch, SBOM-attested and carries signed provenance. Try one and verify it in 30 seconds:

# Run it (Blazor chat UI from the Docker Model Runner lab), then open http://localhost:8080
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/ppiova/docker-model-runner-lab/blazor-chat:latest

# Verify the keyless-signed build provenance (GitHub OIDC, via Sigstore)
gh attestation verify oci://ghcr.io/ppiova/docker-model-runner-lab/blazor-chat:latest --owner ppiova

Every image listed below ships from GitHub Actions with:

# Manifest + attestations
docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/ppiova/<image>:latest --format '{{ json . }}'

# SBOM
docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/ppiova/<image>:latest \
  --format '{{ json .SBOM }}'

# Provenance
docker buildx imagetools inspect ghcr.io/ppiova/<image>:latest \
  --format '{{ json .Provenance }}'

# Verify the keyless-signed build provenance (GitHub OIDC, via Sigstore)
gh attestation verify oci://ghcr.io/ppiova/<image>:latest --owner ppiova
