Speakers

Aisha is a developer advocate at Hexagon Cloud and a recovering technical writer. She has opinions about sidebars and she's right about all of them.

Ravi leads mobile engineering at Papercrane. He has shipped over 200 app releases and still checks the crash dashboard before breakfast.

Diego builds the job infrastructure at Sundial. He has strong opinions about at-least-once delivery, mostly formed at 3 a.m.

Omar is a data engineer at Meridian Grid. He's moved the same events through four different systems and finally has opinions worth sharing.

Marcus helps engineering teams build security habits that survive contact with deadlines. He's run threat-modeling sessions with over a hundred teams, from two-person startups to public companies.

Nadia runs engineering at Cobalt Systems and has been on-call, in some form, for eighteen years. She cares about reliability, sustainable teams, and retiring services gracefully.

Tomas researches software supply-chain security at Norwind Labs and maintains tooling for dependency auditing. He has responsibly disclosed more typosquats than he'd like to count.

Sofia is a frontend architect at Tidepool. She's been shipping web UI since jQuery was cool the first time, and she's very glad the platform caught up.

Kenji manages the data platform team at Papercrane. He has strong feelings about connection pooling and a tattoo that is definitely not the Postgres elephant.

Liam leads the SRE team at Quayside. He believes the best incident response starts long before the incident, preferably with everyone asleep.

Maya leads applied ML infrastructure at Lattice & Loom and has spent the last decade shipping machine learning systems at scale. She writes and speaks about the unglamorous, practical side of AI adoption.

Grace is CTO at Fernwood Robotics, where she took the engineering org from a single room to four continents. Before that she ran platform engineering at two startups that made it and one that very much didn't.

Ana is a staff engineer at Meridian Grid working across the stack. She likes her contracts typed, her APIs versioned, and her deploys uneventful.

Priya leads platform engineering at Cobalt Systems, where she owns the deploy pipeline and the pager that comes with it.

Daniel works on edge networking at Brightpath Software. He reads RFCs for fun and apologizes for nothing.

Ingrid is a product engineer at Fjord Analytics who cares about the boring infrastructure that makes shipping fast feel safe.

Conference chair and host of Chris Con. Builds developer tools, runs the program team, and answers every email — say hi at the registration desk.

Elena leads accessibility at Tidepool, where she turned an audit backlog into a design-system roadmap. She believes the fastest route to accessible products is making the accessible thing the default thing.

Hannah works on inference infrastructure at Lattice & Loom. She spends her days making GPUs do more with less and her evenings explaining the bill.
