Problem Solve at ImagineX! Past Xchange conference attendees have expressed how much they enjoy the ImagineX – Hackathon. Only a few seats remain for this popular workshop. Edit your conference registration to save your seat!

The transition from spring to summer brings a deluge of CONs, such as Stealthcon, PivotCon, and the upcoming DefCon. Most of these CONs have a decidedly Western-leaning, and you don't often don't see a representation of those from other parts of the world, so when I recently saw Shanghai's GeekCon with sponsorship by many Chinese Tech companies, I was admittedly curious. What I found most impressive was the presentation under the Honor Roll section: https://lnkd.in/gDh_i_rd If you are in a red team/purple team role, it might be worth spending some time here. BTW: if there are other notable CONs in other parts of the world, feel free to add them to the comments section

Thanks for the shout out Rebecca Bilbro, PhD ! This was a fun project with my talented colleagues Patrick Deziel and Beci Lambrecht. Amazing what a small team can do with the right tools and approach. My takeaways: -Small teams can achieve big things with the right tools (see below), motivation, and time to be creative (and you don't need much time - we did this in < 1 day). - Data teams want libraries, not platforms! We used OpenCV, PyEnsign, Streamlit (and one more to connect the YT feed). The right libraries with the right data tools can be magical (at least it was to me:).

Let's Talk Tech??

Super excited for the monthly Geeks Who Lead meetup in NYC tonight. I'll be discussing "how much to invest in what" with Kwame Thomison, VP Engineering at Alma. Thanks to our sponsors Engineer Access, Primary Venture Partners, Stride, Okteto and Aptible - we wouldn't be able to run the community or the events without their support. When you’re being asked to do more with less, it’s sometimes hard to right-size investments in activities like platform engineering or L&D that deliver value, but are not on the customer facing roadmap. In this months discussion, we’ll be chatting about how to identify, evaluate and propose investments in improving your org (whether through tooling or training) that will provide a clear and measurable ROI.

Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. That seems to be a typical situation before showcasing demos in the tech world. Here is my experience of Murphy’s Law over the last 10 days while working on the robot dog demo for the IROS conference: 1. The Wi-Fi died right when the guests entered the room to try out the demo. 2. The camera mount broke down and got stuck. 3. A new failure case of the model was found during the showcase. Even though these situations are frustrating, they are part of the development process. What is important is the spirit that drives teammates to quickly come up with solutions and put everything back on track. P.S. Wish my team luck with the demo at IROS! ??
