NDC London 2026 - Postgres and OpenAI - a match made in Azure
Whether you need to perform sentiment analysis, summarize documents, translate text, or identify personally identifiable information (PII), PostgreSQL on Azure has you covered.
In this session, you’ll explore how to leverage the power of Azure’s PostgreSQL Flexible Server combined with OpenAI’s generative capabilities. You will see how to use Azure OpenAI service directly from PostgreSQL with the azure_ai extension to generate vector embeddings, implement semantic search, build recommendation systems or summarize documents.
Join me for a demo-rich session and learn how to build AI solutions using PostgreSQL and OpenAI in Azure.
London, United Kingdom
I’m a backend engineer and software architect with 17+ years of .NET, mostly in banking and fintech: payment and transaction processing, public APIs, and the internal platforms other teams build on. I’ve led teams and a platform unit, and I stay hands-on in the code, increasingly through AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex.
Alongside that, I build open-source .NET libraries and developer tools with 45M+ NuGet downloads: DuckDB.NET, EntityFramework.Exceptions, EFCore.Visualizer and others. That work sits where .NET meets the database: native interop, Native AOT extensions for DuckDB and PostgreSQL, and tooling that makes query plans easier to debug. I also speak about .NET and databases at conferences like NDC, KCDC and .NET Conf.
