• Using Cryptographic Identities to Secure Workloads
7:30pm End

Talk 1: Designing DNA at Scale in Seconds with Go
Poly is an open source Go package that can design DNA at scale in seconds to help develop novel therapies, diagnostics, crops, and even flying seaweed. Written to be fast, stable, maintainable, and reproducible, we'll explore what makes Go so great for writing genetic engineering software.

About the Speaker
Timothy Stiles is the creator, maintainer, and lead developer of Poly.

Talk 2: Using CUDA with Golang on the Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit
Graeme Newlands from Blackrock will give a brief talk on using the Orin Nano setup, accessing CUDA natively, and accessing CUDA through idiomatic Golang. He'll also look to provide some benchmarks for gonum vs CUDA (specifically with sparse matrices) although no promises.

About the Speaker
Graeme Newlands is a director at Blackrock and a longtime member and supporter of GoSF.

Talk 3: Using Cryptographic Identities to Secure Workloads
Ben Arent will provide a practical approach to securing cloud-native workloads using zero-trust best practices. In particular, he'll explain the use of SPIFFE support (Secure Production Identity Framework for Everyone) within Teleport and how this enables the use of cryptographic identities as the primary way to secure workloads.

About the Speaker
Ben Arent is Director of Product at Teleport. He's an entrepreneur and hacker by nature and has worked on many developer tools, from RedisToGo, Airbrake and Teleport. While Product Focused, he abuses Go on a regular basis.
