I have 15 years of liaison / Project Management experience between engineering and management. I analysis the clients’ needs and make sure they are meet by implement a value stream delivery though out the project life cycle.
Example I took on a project at Daimler North America in New Product Design and was able to complete my project schedule in 6 months ahead of time, saving over half million dollars in labor cost. At JTS as Business Process Analysis, I was able to improved their operation efficiency by 25 percent with a predicted cost saving of $75,000. Seattle Give Camp I co-lead 28 projects with over 200 students and professionals to create websites for nonprofit organizations. At Siemens Westinghouse, as Project lead, I lead team of 10: engineers , craft workers, and suppliers by implementing changes management resulting in 47% reduction of rework. Achieved cost savings of $800,000 using techniques such as Lean and Kaizen, continuous improvements.

My name is Thanik Nithiphanthawong. And this is something I've observed from working for over ten years in fast-pace manufacturing environment where delivering products on time with quality is highly demanded by customers. It's what every business executive strives for, and the presentation intends to give you a quick fundamental understanding of the approach to achieve such goal.
Southern Company Engineering and Construction Services has been using 3D based design tools for over 15 years. Over recent years, business needs have evolved faster than current technology could support. Due to this deficiency, emphasis was put on People, Process and Technology across the Organization to see where efficiencies could be gained. This presentation discusses these deficiencies, how the deficiencies were addressed and a path forward using AVEVA technology, to support Southern Company's Plants as a Digital Fleet.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
