Announcing My New Site for Great Technical Video Content

Mon, 22 Nov 2021 18:07:52 -0800

Announcing watch.softinio.com

I am thrilled to announce my new video website watch.softinio.com, a place for great technical talk content ad free and free from commercial sponsorship.

As many of you know I used to organize meetup/technical talks in the bay area (and later virtually online since the start of the pandemic) in the past. To get the ball rolling with some content, you can now watch a selection of the technical talks that were done at meetups I had arranged. This collection includes some of the greatest speakers from the Scala, Nix, Elasticsearch and Functional Programming world whom I had the honor of hosting.

After having spent the last seven years organizing technical talks at several meetups I have decided to step down and move on. It is an end of an era for me, but I am excited about what’s next.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my co-organizers, all of the speakers I hosted and all the attendees for supporting my efforts to help all of us learn from each other and be a community.

Scale By The Bay 2018 San Francisco

Thu, 02 May 2019 18:30:40 -0700

One of the highlights of 2018 was attending and being part of the Scale By the bay 2018 conference in San Francisco. This by far was the best conference I have ever attended.

The conference had 3 tracks covering the functional programming, reactive programming and data science topics. All the talks were of high quality made even better by highly intelligent audience made up of the most talented stars of our industry.

PyBay 2018 San Francisco

Thu, 25 Oct 2018 18:30:40 -0700

As you read in my last blog I was lucky enough to finally move to the bay area. If you know me you will know that I am passionate about Scala and Python. To me being a master of these two language and functional programming I can rule the world. So it goes without saying that as soon as I arrived one of the first things I did was to become an active member of the San Francisco Python community and attended my very first PyBay 2018.
