Samia Khalid will transform you into an AI-native engineer

Hi, I'm Samia. I'm a Principal Engineer and a hands-on technical leader at Microsoft helping engineering organizations become AI-native.

I lead the agentic systems for Microsoft Copilot across software delivery, incident management and reusable agent infrastructure, used by 1,000+ engineers to build, operate and evolve software.

My path runs through both applied science and engineering: a decade in applied machine learning before agents, and co-authored research on agentic incident management.

What I enjoy most is turning ambiguous AI bets into production outcomes, balancing bold experiments with fast, customer-driven iteration.

This workshop brings together the patterns and hard-won lessons from that work, so you can build in weeks what took us much longer, and skip our mistakes.
