23:09 – Olivier’s advice to new Azure architects “Be Curious” – and he talks about his pet project of Robotics using RaspberryPi and Lego. He also talks about how to leverage the strength and help from SMEs and experts to not reinvent the wheel and build on top of others work
31:30 – Olivier talks about how he took a year and a half to build his robot. And how his “dig-dig-dig” approach to really understand the concepts works to his advantage. How he learns things because of his passion for technology even though it might not be directly related to work.
