Senior Engineering Manager at Etsy

In tech, we often talk about failing fast. I want to share how my team recovered from failing really slowly: we launched a high-profile product that didn’t meet customer needs after doing a 9-month waterfall buildout. I don’t want to talk about all of the mistakes we made along the way, although I’m sure that would be a fun talk in and of itself. I want to focus on how we set ourselves up for success in the rapid pivot that followed by capitalizing on our learnings, bringing engineering to the forefront of the decision making process, and empowering those focused on technical execution.

In my past five years, I’ve been investigating and interviewing a series of developers about the problems of diversity in software. Both women and people of color still represent a smaller share of developers than they should. In this keynote, Shawn will talk about pragmatic reasons to diversity and add inclusion to make software better, not just for the social justice reasons. This is an extension of my documentary film called "Hello World".

Any woman who has made it in tech has run the requisite gauntlet of male dominated boardrooms, striving to hide emotions in the face of underestimation, disregard, or intimidation. There are few female executives who have not wanted to shout out “I don't want to join this f*@king call" at one time or another. When a young female cutting her teeth at IBM inadvertently said exactly such a thing to a room of male executives, she had no idea that the faux-pas would teach her a lesson that would inform her fundamental leadership philosophy until this very day. How should young, capable… read more |

We are all too familiar with projects and companies that only seem to be able to support senior developers, but this can get expensive, unsustainable, and your team can begin to look very myopic. Teams engage in groupthink, ideas become stale, and it can be difficult to reinvigorate the growing sense of mundane development. It doesn't have to be this way. In fact, creating an inclusive architecture can help development go faster and become more cost effective.
It's not difficult to begin adjusting your sails and beginning to create an architecture that is inclusive in… read more |

In order to effective change to occur in the tech industry, to correct the representation disparity, the ‘value of diversity has to be part of every single persons’ impact at work.

Chief of Staff, Information Security at Citrix

We all know the drill…It always starts with reconnaissance. We learn the landscape, we network, and gather intelligence. When we find the vulnerabilities, we use our tools to find ways to gain access, we build backdoors, our skills to maintain and advance it from there. Sound familiar? This isn’t penetration testing. This is career development.
Our best exploit is ourselves. We can grow in our infosec career by being the presence that fills the gap. The InfoSecurity industry is expanding in ways that companies need to address – a few recent examples: social media exploits… read more |

Global Cyber Leader at Deloitte

This shift of the global workforce looks to be a permanent change. Despite widespread Zoom fatigue, it seems like users generally like it. The move to cloud and hybrid IT environments—along with increasing numbers of cloud-based systems, remote workers, and connected devices—are constantly expanding and dissolving the network perimeter. It wasn’t that long ago that a typical user would enter a building, go to a workstation, login and access everything they needed via on-premises servers. As digital strategy and cloud adoption increased, the way in which users accessed their IT resources is… read more |
