18:45 - 19:15 - How One Code Contribution Changed My Career by Ran Isenberg (Principal Software Architect @ CyberArk)

On October 2nd, 2020, my first pull request to an open-source project was merged. Little did I know that it would lead to my promotion to System Architect and that I'd talk about it at the AWS TLV Summit in Israel.

In this talk, I share my journey in the open-source world and how it improved my engineering skills, led to my promotion at work, and introduced new opportunities in public speaking, podcast appearances, and blog writing. I will discuss soft skills and behaviors that allowed me to advance my career and share tips and tricks for new code contributions while keeping a work-life balance so you can start your journey.

19:15 - 19:45 - Open-Source Project as a Personal Growth Engine by Lior Yardeni (Backend Developer @ LSEG) & Pavel Zagalsky (Backend Engineer @ Intel)

We will present our open source project, a simplified system to deploy and manage multi-cloud assets and their costs, and we will also share the added value we gained through the development process, from skills sharpening to a full-on career change.
