## Bio
I am a Cloud Developer Advocate at Microsoft, after studying Computer Science and completing a research project in Natural Language Processing/Machine Learning and an internship at Microsoft’s search engine, Bing.
Amy Boyd, with a background in Computer Science and a focus on Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, is a Principal Cloud Advocate at Microsoft.

I am passionate about Data Science and Machine Learning and my previous roles have allowed me to work in many different areas of data science (Visualisation, ML, Big Data and IoT) as well as working on projects with customers across the globe.
Her passion for AI and Machine Learning has led her to work on global projects, engage with developer communities, and devise strategies for AI Developer community engagement.

In her role, Amy not only creates and delivers content but also shapes the product experience for developers, drawing on her extensive experience in the field.

In my role as a Cloud Developer Advocate, I help developers to engage with Microsoft technology, especially the AI services on Azure, by providing content, learnings, and sample code. You can find me online using the links above or at in-person events.
