Neil DCruz — CEO

I help large enterprises modernize how software is built, secured, and shipped using AI-enabled developer platforms. As a Software Global Black Belt at Microsoft, I work with CIOs, CTOs, and platform leaders across APAC to operationalize GitHub Copilot, GitHub Enterprise, and Azure Dev Services as an integrated software delivery system. My focus is on turning AI potential into measurable outcomes: - Faster lead time from idea to production - Higher developer throughput and satisfaction - Stronger security and governance without slowing teams down I operate at the intersection of AI in the SDLC, Developer Experience (DevEx), and Platform Engineering, bridging executive intent with hands-on technical reality. Before Microsoft, I spent several years at AWS working closely with startups, helping them design cloud and DevOps architectures under real constraints such as cost, speed, and talent. Earlier in my career, I built and scaled enterprise systems in global delivery environments, long before platform engineering became a formal discipline. What differentiates my work - Deep hands-on credibility combined with executive-level advisory conversations - Fluent across Azure, GitHub, and AWS ecosystems - Strong bias toward outcomes rather than tooling, including velocity, quality, risk, and cost I am particularly interested in where the industry is heading next: - Autonomous and agent-driven SDLC workflows - Secure-by-design developer platforms - Measuring and monetizing developer productivity at enterprise scale
