We are excited to introduce Cameron Eagans this month! He's an experienced full-stack software engineer and technical leader with over 15 years of experience. He has worked on a handful of the largest properties on the Internet, and his open source projects have been downloaded over 45 million times.

Deciphering Distributed Consensus
Explore the fundamental concepts of distributed consensus algorithms in this one-hour introductory talk designed for technical enthusiasts. Delve into the problems that these algorithms solve, from ensuring data integrity in distributed databases to maintaining fault tolerance in critical systems. Gain insights into the inner workings of popular algorithms like Raft and Hashgraph, and uncover the trade-offs involved in their design. Whether you're a seasoned engineer or simply curious about the coordination magic behind distributed systems, this session will equip you with a solid foundation in the world of distributed consensus. Join us to unravel the mysteries of consensus, its real-world applications, and its role in shaping the future of modern computing.
