Technical Analysis

On **March 25**, TechinTO is taking over IDK Social Bar for an absolute homecoming edition. **This month is different.** For the first time in over two years, the founder is back in Toronto to host the room in person. We are restoring the original, unstiff energy, keeping the format loose, and dropping an absolute upgrade to the guest list. **✨ The Vibe Check** **Hosted by the Founder:** **The founder is actually flying back for one specific reason: to control the room dynamics and ensure this is the absolute strongest tech mixer of the year**. Grab a drink, mix and mingle, and actually connect. **THE SURPRISE:** The zero-pressure format remains absolute, but the stakes are elevated. **A casting producer for one of Canada's biggest business television shows is attending**.

But for Quality Engineering leaders, the real opportunity is much bigger. AI is not just a tool for execution - it’s a force multiplier for decision-making. It can synthesize fragmented data, reveal hidden patterns, connect siloed systems, and elevate quality from reporting metrics to driving strategy. At the 12th Toronto Meetup, we shift the conversation from tactical AI usage to strategic quality intelligence - and what that means for modern QE leadership. **Event Details** * Date: March 25th, 2026 * Time: 06:00 PM – 09:00 PM EST * Venue: 688 Richmond St. W. (3rd floor) Session: AI as a Force Multiplier for QE Leaders Speaker: Puneet Randhawa, Director of Quality Engineering, StackAdapt About the Session While AI can generate tests and automation scripts, its greatest value for QE leaders lies in connecting the dots. In this session, Puneet shares practical, real-world ways QE leaders can use AI to: * Connect data from Jira, CI pipelines, Slack, monitoring tools, and more through MCP servers * Build custom GPTs for defect trend analysis and regression intelligence * Transform raw dashboards into actionable, forward-looking insights This talk focuses on operating at a higher strategic altitude - shifting from tracking metrics to building systems that generate clarity, alignment, and informed decision-making. If you’re leading QE in a fast-moving organization, this session will help you rethink how AI can amplify your impact. **Key Takeaways** * How QE leaders can use AI to connect siloed quality data into meaningful insights * Practical examples of MCP servers and custom GPTs in QE workflows * How to transition from reactive reporting to proactive, insight-driven leadership * Ways to elevate quality from operational support to strategic advantage **About the Speaker** Puneet Randhawa is the Director of Quality Engineering at StackAdapt, with over 15 years of experience building and scaling QE teams in high-growth tech environments. She is passionate about transforming quality from a support function into a strategic differentiator - leveraging data, automation, and now AI to enable smarter decisions and stronger outcomes. Puneet actively mentors emerging QE leaders and shares practical insights from the field, focusing on how modern quality engineering can influence business strategy and organizational impact. **Why You Should Attend** * Gain a leadership-level perspective on AI in quality engineering * Learn how to leverage AI beyond automation use cases * Discover practical methods to turn metrics into intelligence * Connect with Toronto’s QE and technology leaders * Be part of The Test Tribe’s 12th Toronto Meetup **About The Test Tribe** The Test Tribe is the world’s largest software testing community, empowering testers globally since 2018.

**We will discuss day trading, swing trading strategies and tools.** This will not be a presentation format. We will discuss options trading and investing strategies, as well as the skills needed to start. It is a **casual meetup to meet people who are interested in trading or building a career around it, especially algorithmically. No "financial gurus" are welcome.** Join us for a meetup where we share trading ideas, and connect with others who share a common interest in investing. Algorithmic trading is commonly used by large institutional investors and market makers, but it is also accessible to retail traders. It offers several advantages over manual or discretionary approaches—particularly in minimizing psychological errors that often impact human traders. Some of the topics we usually discuss: \- Reasons for investing \- Limitations of being a retail trader \- Practical tools: brokers\, APIs\, data sources\, real\-time implementation \- Brainstorming ideas: strategies that may be working today **Note this even is not sponsored or endorsed by any business where we are meeting. We are just using their space for casual meetup event.** **Please no promotion of MLM, pyramid schemes, self promotion to paid services, affiliate promotion, paid subscriptions or similar stuff.** **Useful Links** * Notion page of [Algo Trading Resources](https://systemetic.notion.site/Algorithmic-Trading-Resources-fe400c5258e440fd8a4d63770d08bc13) **Telegram group for quicker communication:** [https://t.me/+m8BMRABGX74xNmZh](https://t.me/+m8BMRABGX74xNmZh) **Disclaimer:** This meetup is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be construed as professional financial advice.

Bring your charts, your ideas, and your questions—no sales pitches, no gurus, just honest conversation among people who love trading and learning from each other.

Observability is supposed to help us understand our systems but for many teams it has quietly become one of the most expensive and least flexible parts of the stack. Plenty of organizations take polished SaaS platforms like Datadog to get real value quickly early on, only to hit the same wall later: runaway costs, pricing tied to architectural decisions, and vendor lock-in so strong it makes Rogers and Bell both blush. In this talk, I’ll walk through a real-world case study of a JVM-based production system that migrated away from a Datadog-centric observability setup to an open-source, OpenTelemetry-based platform. We’ll dig into the why behind the move, the architectural decisions that mattered, the mistakes along the way, and how the team ended up with pragmatic visibility into latency, errors, and resource usage at a fraction of the cost. The second half of the talk is practical and forward-looking. I’ll show how OpenTelemetry unlocks real choice by acting as a neutral data plane for your telemetry. From there, we’ll look at modern, off-the-shelf observability backends you can plug in within minutes without rewriting applications or installing new agents. Want to dual-write, swap vendors, or route data somewhere new? This is how you do it without a big-bang rewrite or another long-term commitment with a new vendor. This session is for engineers and CEOs who are feeling the observability cost squeeze, want leverage back from vendors, and are looking for realistic ways to modernize monitoring without lighting their entire stack on fire each time they decide to change their tools of choice. **About the venue** Free Times Cafe has bistro-style seating and a full food and drink menu. Please consider helping to support the venue by planning to have supper during the talk. **Speaker Bio** Alexei Zenin is a Platform Engineering Consultant based out of Toronto, Canada.

Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
