Great all this new stuff, but how do I convince my management - Erwin Derksen
At conferences you hear great new things which you want to implement however … how do you get budget approval? And why does an external consultant get things approved more easily and an internal expert has a hard time achieving this? In this session Erwin will explain how and why. How do we close the gap between “business and technique” and how do I convince my management and CEO to approve my technical project? Please join Erwin when he shares his extensive experiences and thoughts as a sr. IT Architect. This session is not about technology but gives practical recommendations to be able to execute your technical stuff”.
How to land your first job in tech without an engineering degree
Although, formal education helps in creating opportunities for first job but it is not necessary to have a degree in computer science, math or other STEM fields to get a job at a tech company. In today’s fast-paced technology industry, most of the information of the world is never more than a few clicks away and where things change so fast, education must in fact be a life-long process and not the learn-once-use-forever one-off process. Therefore, relevance of a degree is easily compensated with relevant skills combined with business use-cases and projects.
In this talk, we will discuss about the roles and opportunities in the tech industry and why skill-driven approach changes mindset of the recruiter. It will include how one can break barriers of academic limitations, tap into opportunities through soft skills and networking, choose to slip into the job they want rather than slip away. Concluding it with useful resources and hacks to network better to land into opportunities life-long.
Getting started in tech (6 21)
This document provides an overview of getting started in a tech career. It defines what tech careers encompass, discusses in-demand first jobs like frontend developer and QA developer. It then outlines common career trajectories like becoming a senior developer or moving into roles that combine coding with other skills like product management, growth hacking, or data science. The document also discusses how to break into tech through learning skills, building a portfolio, networking, and preparing for interviews. It emphasizes that the tech industry has massive job shortages and hiring is based on skills rather than credentials.
IT Careers
The document discusses opportunities in IT careers. It notes that demand for IT workers is higher than the supply as businesses increasingly rely on technology. There are many growing areas of IT like software development, cybersecurity, and data analysis. While some basic IT jobs may move overseas, jobs requiring business knowledge and close collaboration will remain. To succeed in IT, one needs relevant degrees, certifications, experience through internships or projects, and strong technical and business skills. Overall, IT careers offer high growth, pay, and flexibility for creative problem-solvers interested in emerging technologies.

TDD - Cultivating a Beginner's Mind
The document discusses how test-driven development (TDD) can help software developers avoid design mistakes that stem from relying too heavily on past experience. It notes that experience can make developers vulnerable by leading them to automatically apply familiar patterns without considering if they are the best solution. TDD encourages an incremental "beginner's mind" approach where the simplest code is written to pass each test before refactoring, which helps developers introduce the right abstractions and avoid over-engineering. Refactoring is key to improving designs emerging from TDD. The document advocates practicing TDD and refactoring to cultivate humility and flexibility in design.

“Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transfor...Edge AI and Vision Alliance
For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/temporal-event-neural-networks-a-more-efficient-alternative-to-the-transformer-a-presentation-from-brainchip/
Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Connector Corner: Seamlessly power UiPath Apps, GenAI with prebuilt connectors

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
