Nancy Chacko (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancychacko) | Leader of AutoTest Philly

With over 15 years in the software testing field, Nancy Chacko has most recently been the head of test at Ticketleap and helps run the AutoTest Philly Meetup group. She has been working at companies ranging from very early stage startups to well established firms. Past roles include Director of Engineering in Test at OPower, growing the team there from four to 20, and Senior QA Engineer at Netflix where she developed the certification process used for over 50 devices. Before that, she was the Director of QA at Ning and the QA Manager at Edusoft.

In addition to her impressive background, Nancy is a firm believer in the value of automation as well as the need for targeted manual testing. How software is built matter as much to her as what gets built.

Clinton Wolfe (https://twitter.com/clintoncwolfe) | DevOps Practice Lead at OmniTI (https://omniti.com/)

Clinton Wolfe leads the DevOps Practice at OmniTI, which means he voluntarily chooses to go into heavily silo-ed, dysfunctional organizations and try to get them to talk to each other with as few stabbings as possible. Basically, Clinton has been helping organizations deploy and operate web-scale applications since early days of the web. He's especially interested in testable infrastructure, and the processes needed to support quality throughout the application lifecycle. Clinton collects metrics for fun, and outside of work, he is also a Daddy.

Kurant cider is a small batch, hand crafted cidery operated by Owners, Joe Getz and Michael Meyers out of Lansdale, PA. Kurant operates as an independent cidery bringing fresh new ideas and gluten free ingredients to the ever growing cider and beer scene of Philadelphia. Utilizing the shared space of a 7 barrel system for cider making we have combined years of experience spanning from a significant home-brewing background to industry experience. Our goal is to make tasty, enjoyable ciders that stand out for the unique ingredients used. Kurant offers three ciders including Daily, a semi-sweet crisp traditional cider with pleasant acidity; Tropic, a cider infused with a citrus explosion of pineapple blended with crisp apple; and Earth, a uniquely hopped cider carrying all the floral and piney characteristics of hops minus the bitterness. We will continue to add creative and exciting new ideas to our products and hope to see you soon around the craft scene of Philadelphia. We have recently combined our efforts with Tech in Motion to bring our quality product to their already outstanding networking events!
