About Remco van Dam

Hi, I’m Remco van Dam, a Solution Engineer for Data & Analytics at Microsoft. Welcome to Roesli, my corner of the web where I write about building software with GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Fabric.

I work at Microsoft. The ideas, experiments, and opinions on this site are my own and do not represent Microsoft’s official position.

This blog is where I share:

• Posts — practical notes on prompting, agents, and Copilot workflows.
• Decks — the slides from my talks and demos.
• Videos — short walkthroughs and screen recordings.

What to expect from a guide

I write for engineers who need to build, inspect and operate a data platform, not just recognize the product names. The focus is Microsoft Fabric, Lakehouse and OneLake integration, Power BI semantic models, governance, and agent-assisted engineering.

Walkthroughs describe their data, prerequisites and validation evidence where available. Documentation-based explanations are not benchmarks, and a preview feature is not a promise about production availability. Product behavior changes; check the linked sources and the article’s update date before applying a pattern.

For examples, see the Project Osmos Gold-model walkthrough, the Purview permissions exporter or the Fabric learning paths.

What this site is built with

• Astro + the AstroPaper theme
• Tailwind CSS
• Deployed on Azure Static Web Apps
• Privacy-friendly analytics via Microsoft Clarity (consent-gated)
