Johnny Hooyberghs brings together cloud-native thinking, quantum computing, and AI with clarity, curiosity, and contagious enthusiasm. A Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for Developer Technologies, Azure, and Microsoft Quantum six years running, Johnny is known for making complex tech engaging and accessible.

As Managing Partner and Consultant at Involved (part of the Cronos Group), he’s spent over a decade building expertise in software development, cloud-native architecture, and applied quantum computing. He authored Introducing Microsoft Quantum Computing for Developers and continues to educate through talks, tutorials, and live workshops.

Whether he’s presenting at Nerdland, CloudLand, Future Tech, or running deep-dive sessions on Q# and AI agents at international dev summits, Johnny delivers with both technical depth and human connection.

When he’s not coding or presenting, you’ll likely find him adding a new rollercoaster to his global ride list. And if he weren’t working in tech? He’d be out in the world as a full-time adventurer, exploring wild landscapes, new cultures, and everything in between.
