Tiguidou! Potloc's Internal Productivity Tooling CLI - 30 minutes
This is a talk on Potloc's internal productivity tooling CLI (Command Line Interface), including a short demo and tour of the codebase to complement.
Speaker Mathieu Gagné - VP of Engineering - Potloc
At the moment Mathieu focuses on his latest passions: developer experience and cloud engineering. Provide the right infrastructure, architecture and tooling to lead a team of web developers to its maximum potential. As VP of Engineering, he also manages Data Protection, IT Management, Data Engineering and ML Ops.
Mathieu started learning ruby in 2010 and fell in love with the language and the community. He has built numerous applications earlier in his career. Real-time dashboards, data processing, responsive design, custom CMS, eCommerce platforms - you name it - were part of his day to day life. After a long detour in web agencies, freelance and corporate, he's now back to his first love, startups.
Mathematical optimization made easy in Ruby - 30 minutes
In this talk we will cover the basics of convex optimization, go over some common examples and how to easily implement them in Ruby using the `opt-rb` gem.
Speaker Jérôme Parent-Lévesque - Engineering Lead - Potloc
In his current role, Jérôme leads a team working on facilitating and optimizing the acquisition of survey respondents while maintaining a best-in-class data quality.With his academic background in machine learning, computer graphics and electrical engineering, Jérôme has a broad range of coding experience, whether it be in interpreted languages, low-level languages or even at the hardware level. Nonetheless, he still strongly believes that readability and developer experience are the most important aspects of programming languages and he is therefore most excited about the Ruby language.
