Huzzah! A new speaker has appeared.

Ezra Singh will be present this month.

**Bio:**
My journey began in 2012 with tinkering and crafting mods for video game consoles, leading me into the fascinating world of coding and computer science. Over the years, I've had the honor of building software for diverse companies, including an investment firm, a startup, a community organization, and a telecom company.

These days, my focus has been on contributing to open source projects and furthering my self-education. During my free time, I create and share lessons and tutorials on app development and devops.

When I'm not at my computer, I'm usually playing the guitar, spending quality time with my partner, dog, and two cats, or reading up on gravity and quantum mechanics.

**Title:**
How Rust Saved My Eyes

**Summary:**

The story behind ACPI Event Manager; how buying an HP led me down an interesting Rust rabbit hole.

**Description:**
In this upcoming tech talk, I will delve into the narrative outlined in "How Rust Saved My Eyes." The session will explore the challenges encountered when Linux support for OEM components on a purchased HP laptop resulted in screen brightness issues. I will walk the audience through his investigative process, from internet sleuthing and tinkering with system files to the ultimate solution – a Rust-based tool called the ACPI Event Manager. Attendees can expect a deep dive into my journey, showcasing how Rust played a pivotal role in automating ACPI configuration and providing a robust fix for the persistent screen brightness dilemma.
