This was an extended version of the talk that I gave at InfoShare 2016 in GDansk. This version of the talk was presented at ao.com and Think Money in Manchester UK in May 2016. This is a remix of several earlier talks and some new content to tie Spotify's autonomy and continuous improvement culture to it's data-driven product development approach to show the complete picture. As usual, I tend to talk to slides instead of putting a lot of the content into the slides themselves, so sorry if these don't have all the info.
This presentation about DevOps will help you understand what is DevOps, how is DevOps different from traditional IT, benefits of DevOps, the lifecycle of DevOps and tools used in DevOps processes. DevOps is one of the most trending IT jobs. It is a collaboration between development and operation teams which enables continuous delivery of applications and services to our end users. However, if you want to become a DevOps engineer, you must have knowledge of various DevOps tools (like Git, Maven, Selenium, Jenkins, Docker, Ansible, Nagios etc.) to achieve automation at each stage which helps in gaining Continuous Development, Continuous Integration, Continuous Testing and Continuous Monitoring in order to deliver a quality product to the client at a very fast pace. Now, let us get started and understand DevOps and does the various DevOps tools work.

Redis has exploded in popularity to become the de-facto standard for in-memory key-value store used by customers for fast data storage to accelerate databases and applications. In this talk, we will discuss how to leverage Redis to achieve blazing fast performance in a variety of use cases – from database caching, to messaging, queuing, IoT and more. Both high-level architecture considerations and implementation (with code snippets) will be covered. We will also see how using Amazon ElastiCache makes it easy to power your Redis workloads in a robust, secure and fully managed way. Level: 200 (requires understanding of database services)
Managing a team and project are quite synonymous. Especially, teams require effective distribution of responsibility / roles. Once that is setup, a proper process guides people to make progress. All this fits into a product lifecycle, which is essential to develop the right product, in the right way, and deliver it at the right time.

"Getting started with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE): A guide to improving systems reliability at production"
This is an intro guide to share some of the common concepts of SRE to a non-technical audience. We will look at both technical and organizational changes that should be adopted to increase operational efficiency, ultimately benefiting for global optimizations - such as minimize downtime, improve systems architecture & infrastructure:
- improving incident response
- Defining error budgets
- Better monitoring of systems
- Getting the best out of systems alerting
- Eliminating manual, repetitive actions (toils) by automation
- Designing better on-call shifts/rotations

What is platform as a product? Clues from Team Topologies - Puppetize 2020 - ...Matthew Skelton
Savvy organisations are discovering the value of treating their internal platforms as products. But what does it mean to treat a “platform as a product”? What benefits does this give, and why would an organisation adopt this approach?
In this talk, [Matthew Skelton] [Manuel Pais], co-author of the book Team Topologies, explains why the platform-as-product approach can be a game-changer for organisations building and running software-enabled products and services. Using ideas & patterns from Team Topologies - including Thinnest Viable Platform, team cognitive load, and the evolutionary team interaction modes - [Matthew] [Manuel] explains how organisations like adidas and Uswitch have successfully used the platform-as-product model to accelerate and simplify the delivery of software at scale.

FOREIGN POLICY, APRIL 15, 2016
============
At first glance, the story of Accenture reads like the archetype of the American dream. One of the world’s
biggest consulting companies, which commands tens of billions of dollars in annual revenues, was born in
the 1950s as a small division of accounting firm Arthur Andersen. Its first major project was advising
General Electric to install a computer at a Kentucky facility in order to automate payment processing.
Several decades of growth followed, and by 1989, the division was successful enough to become its own
organization: Andersen Consulting.
Yet a deeper look at the business shows its ascent veering off the American track. This wasn’t because it
opened foreign offices in Mexico, Japan, and other countries; international expansion is pro forma for many
U.S. companies. Rather, Andersen Consulting saw benefits—fewer taxes, cheaper labor, less onerous
regulations — beyond borders and restructured internally to take advantage of them. By 2001, when it went
public after adopting the name Accenture, it had morphed into a network of franchises loosely coordinated
out of a Swiss holding company. It incorporated in Bermuda and stayed there until 2009, when it
redomiciled in Ireland, another low-tax jurisdiction. Today, Accenture’s roughly 373,000 employees are
scattered across more than 200 cities in 55 countries. Consultants parachute into locations for
commissioned work but often report to offices in regional hubs, such as Prague and Dubai, with lower tax
rates. To avoid pesky residency status, the human resources department ensures that employees don’t spend
too much time at their project sites.
Welcome to the age of metanationals: companies that, like Accenture, are effectively stateless. When
business and strategy experts Yves Doz, José Santos, and Peter Williamson coined the term in a 2001 book,
metanationals were an emerging phenomenon, a divergence from the tradition of corporations taking pride
in their national roots. (In the 1950s, General Motors President Charles Wilson famously said, “What was
good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa.”) Today, the severing of state lifelines
has become business as usual.
ExxonMobil, Unilever, BlackRock, HSBC, DHL, Visa—these companies all choose locations for
personnel, factories, executive suites, or bank accounts based on where regulations are friendly, resources
abundant, and connectivity seamless. Clever metanationals often have legal domicile in one country,
corporate management in another, financial assets in a third, and administrative staff spread over several
more. Some of the larg ...

Child care in the on-demand economy: 10 keys for building successful P2P mark...Rishi Dean
This presentation was given in 2015 to second-year MBA students at the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University, as an update to those given in 2013 & 2014.
This presentation provides a background on the rise of P2P marketplace model, as one of the most dominant digital business models to emerge in the past two decades, and this trend of "Uberification" is poised to disrupt every global service industry. To better understand the drivers behind this macro trend, I outline my 10 keys to building marketplaces, and describe the 7 fundamental marketplace types.
We apply these frameworks to the specific industry case, of how Sittercity moved from a "1.0" based business model to this new on-demand model.
It's teams all the way down - Design patterns for technology organizationsKevin Goldsmith
A challenge for startups as they scale is finding the right structure for the stage of their growth that will support them as they continue to grow. While there is no "one size fits all" solution for organizational structure, there are patterns for the different stages of startups that can be adapted to your culture and best practices to leverage.
First presented at the 0111 CTO Conference, November 2022
What Vulnerabilities? How and why to secure your ML/AI SolutionsKevin Goldsmith
Because our models and pipelines don’t usually run in production, it's natural to put less scrutiny into the security of the systems and the code. However, vulnerabilities in our data architecture, software architecture, or network design can expose critical company IP or personal data to hackers or fraudsters. Vulnerabilities in the open-source packages we use to build our models can be exploited as well. This talk covers considerations around security that should be central to anyone building ML/AI solutions.
Whether you are responsible for salary decisions or just give input to someone else, it is important to understand the overt and subtle considerations around determining appropriate pay raises for your team. How you handle salary is a critical part of performance management and retention.
This talk gives some practical advice and things to keep in mind when you are considering what type of pay raise to make. I’ll also provide some points to make the salary discussions in your performance reviews easier.
Partly distributed teams (teams with co-located and distributed members) existed before the pandemic, but are becoming the new normal as companies plan their future. We have a lot of knowledge about managing fully co-located teams from centuries of work, and modern technology companies have pioneered fully distributed teams. However, leading a partially distributed team presents unique challenges, interpersonal and technical. What makes partially distributed teams especially challenging? How can we address these challenges to make our distributed organizations more effective? In this talk, Kevin Goldsmith discusses four main challenges: Conway's Law, Amdahl's Law (as applied to organizations), Empathy, and Communication. He gives examples of these problems and solutions from his experience leading partially distributed teams over the last 25 years.
I was privileged to be a senior leader in the product development team at Spotify from 2013 until 2016. I joined the company right after the adoption of the now well-known "Spotify Model." As a Tribe Lead and then Alliance Lead, I helped in the models' evolution as the company grew to over 800 developers across five offices on two continents.
My time at Spotify was instructive in many ways, and since leaving, I have adopted the lessons I learned as a CTO in multiple companies.
While the squads/chapters/tribes/guilds model as a method for scaling agile development is what people focus on, the ideas and values that inspired that model are valuable and applicable across a wide range of organizations.
I share those ideas and values in this talk—their application at Spotify and how I have applied them in different organizations since.

When why and how to stop coding as your day jobKevin Goldsmith
Many, if not most of us, started as developers. We learned and perfected our craft and were proud of our coding accomplishments. It was what defined us.
As you progress in leadership, more and more of your responsibilities have less and less to do with coding. When is it time to make coding your hobby instead of your job? How do you do it?
This talk is all about embracing the challenges of leading people while staying technically credible.
First Presented at ConFoo February 2021
Presenting to executives at your company is different than giving a presentation to your team, other teams, at a meetup, a conference, or customers.
When asked to present to a group of senior leaders from your company, you need to structure your presentation differently, prepare differently, and communicate differently than when speaking to other audiences.
Positive exposure with senior leaders in an organization is valuable for career advancement. It is an excellent opportunity.
This talk presents some concrete strategies for planning your presentation, preparing the attendees, handling unexpected questions, going down rabbit holes, driving the attendees to a decision (if that is your goal), and following up afterward.
This talk was first presented at LeadDev Live, January 2021
Mission and vision statements aren't just for companies, they are for teams too. They help the team understand what they will and won't do. This talk helps you build these artifacts for your team.
The idea of creating autonomous teams has been trending for a few years now. It is now considered one of the tenets of mature agile organizations.
In theory, autonomous teams move faster because they don't have to synchronize with other groups as much or wait to get approval for their decisions. They don't have to wait for direction. Autonomous teams should also be happier; autonomy being one of the three pillars of driving motivation in individuals.
In practice, many leads and their managers confuse autonomy with being completely "hands-off." Failed projects, buggy releases, or other issues are often the result of not understanding how team autonomy should work.
In this talk, I’ll discuss my experiences seeing autonomy done correctly and not in teams, and share examples of what I’ve done to establish the needed conditions for autonomy done right.
Organization, Architecture, Autonomy and Accountability (2020)Kevin Goldsmith
Many consider agile a process to implement within an existing organization. A set of rules to follow that will produce some useful outcomes. This approach can provide improvements in many different structures of organizations. As agile maturity improves, however, the benefits can become limited by the structure and culture of the organization itself.
Agile is more than a framework for organizing tasks for a team. Agile is a culture, a mindset and a structure for improving the velocity of innovation and providing real business value to customers. To gain the most benefit from Agile it must be considered as part of a more extensive system that incorporates organizational structure, software architecture, and company culture.
This talk considers the interactions between how the work, the software, and the people are organized in high performing agile organizations. Using my own experiences at companies large and small, I will share what I have learned and some best practices I use. These lessons will help you as you improve and scale your Agile teams.
I will discuss:
* How to structure your organization to remove the bottlenecks in coordination and decision-making that can slow velocity to a crawl

Paketo Buildpacks : la meilleure façon de construire des images OCI? DevopsDa...Anthony Dahanne
Les Buildpacks existent depuis plus de 10 ans ! D’abord, ils étaient utilisés pour détecter et construire une application avant de la déployer sur certains PaaS. Ensuite, nous avons pu créer des images Docker (OCI) avec leur dernière génération, les Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNCF en incubation). Sont-ils une bonne alternative au Dockerfile ? Que sont les buildpacks Paketo ? Quelles communautés les soutiennent et comment ?

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
Innovating Inference - Remote Triggering of Large Language Models on HPC Clus...Globus
Large Language Models (LLMs) are currently the center of attention in the tech world, particularly for their potential to advance research. In this presentation, we'll explore a straightforward and effective method for quickly initiating inference runs on supercomputers using the vLLM tool with Globus Compute, specifically on the Polaris system at ALCF. We'll begin by briefly discussing the popularity and applications of LLMs in various fields. Following this, we will introduce the vLLM tool, and explain how it integrates with Globus Compute to efficiently manage LLM operations on Polaris. Attendees will learn the practical aspects of setting up and remotely triggering LLMs from local machines, focusing on ease of use and efficiency. This talk is ideal for researchers and practitioners looking to leverage the power of LLMs in their work, offering a clear guide to harnessing supercomputing resources for quick and effective LLM inference.
