title: Ciprian Jichici - Microsoft Regional Director
description: Cloud Architect, Entrepreneur, and Microsoft Regional Director in Timișoara, Romania

## Bio
I am an IT professional with a business focus living in Timisoara, Romania. My
primary executive position is CEO at [Genisoft](http://genisoft.eu/), one of
the most innovative Microsoft partner companies in Romania. I am also vice-
president of the board of directors at Timisoara International Airport.
Previously, I acted as Chairman of the Urban Planning Committee at the City
Council of Timisoara and as a member of the Directory Council of Timisoara
Basketball Club.
The sixteen years I spent researching and teaching computer science at the
West University of Timisoara laid the theoretical and practical foundation of
my cloud computing technical focus. Today I spend most part of my professional
time designing, architecting, and managing the development of cloud computing
solutions on Microsoft Azure. An important part of this activity is helping
top-level business decision makers realize the potential of cloud computing.
The challenges, complexity, and awesomeness of the many technologies I have to
deal with is what drives and motivates me to learn more every day.
Teaching and sharing is second nature to me, so you’ll find me often speaking
at events and conferences, getting involved in IT communities, and educating
people of all ages in computer science. From 10 year olds (like the ones I
meet yearly at The Hour of Code) to seasoned professionals (like the ones I
meet at Global Azure Bootcamp events or conferences around the world), I love
to be in front of them to inspire or share knowledge. Still, in my heart I
will always be a techie, and that’s why I devote some of my spare time to the
study of data mining and quantum physics.
My technical expertise has been recognized during my career with awards like
the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional. For the past three years, I received
the Microsoft Azure MVP award. The one recognition I am proudest of is being
part of the Microsoft Regional Directors (RD) program for more than ten years
now. Being an RD enables me to realize the full potential of my business and
technical skills and engage constantly with communities, businesses, and
Microsoft. On top of this, I get to be part of a global group that shares my
passion for helping people use a wide range of technologies to make their
lives or businesses better.
Talk to me about Cloud Computing, Azure, Big Data, Mobile Development,
Software Development, IoT, DevOps, Microservices, Azure, SaaS, PaaS, Data
Analytics, NoSQL, iOS, Android, Visual Studio, ASP.NET, or C#.
## Spotlight
Almost 20 years after my first exposure to Machine Learning, I find myself in
the middle of a fundamental transformation of the industry driven by this
sophisticated technology. The explosive development of cloud computing is
fueling the shift towards including ever more intelligence into modern IT
platforms. In a few short years, machine learning delivered via cloud
computing became a ubiquitous and affordable technology. The value unlocked
for organizations is tremendous. Whether it’s about increasing sales by better
understanding customers, saving money by predicting failures or incidents, or
increasing the accuracy of medical diagnostics, my work related to machine
learning helps people do work faster and smarter.
The speed of modern day changes is truly astounding. I firmly believe that we
industry influencers have an important duty to share the knowledge we gain in
complex and challenging projects. That’s why I always find time to talk to
people about how and why our industry is changing. And I do this especially
for the young following in our footsteps.
The most important thing I’ve learned in this journey is that my career would
not be complete without both customer success and the sharing of knowledge. I
am fortunate and proud to be among the ones that do both.
