Jay Harris Invited to Speak at Microsoft Build

LAS VEGAS - June 1, 2021 - PRLog -- Jay Harris presented a talk at Microsoft Build Tuesday May 25th, 2021. This virtual event was the 25th-27th and covered an array of talks and keynotes on different technical skills created to help viewers expand their knowledge, engage, and win prizes. Students, developers, and tech gurus wanting to learn more about Microsoft and expand their technical skills attended this three-day event.

Jay is the founder of Arana Software and President of GiveCamp. He has been a Microsoft Regional Director since 2017 and a Microsoft MVP since 2011. The talk Mr. Harris presented at this year's Microsoft Build Conference focused on GiveCamp, and how coding finds a new purpose by helping others and improving online platforms for non-profits. In this session, Jay discussed the impact web developers are making on non-profit organizations by utilizing their skill sets and coding to give back.

"I've been involved with GiveCamp for 10 years now," said Hilary Weaver-Robb, an Ann Arbor GiveCamp organizer. "I am proud of the work that GiveCamp does, and how we help the community. The work we do is important not only in that we are providing non-profits with technology support they may otherwise not be able to afford, but we also give newer technologists experience on real-world projects they may not have access to otherwise. I was still in college when I volunteered at my first GiveCamp, and it gave me the experience I needed to feel comfortable on a professional software development team. Not only that, but I've grown my professional network exponentially just from being involved with GiveCamp!"
