Raju Gandhi

Founder, DefMacro Software

Raju is a software craftsman with almost 20 years of hands-on experience scoping, architecting, designing, implementing full stack applications.

He provides a 360 view of the development cycle, is proficient in a variety of programming languages and paradigms, experienced with software development methodologies, as well an expert in infrastructure and tooling.

He has long been in the pursuit of hermeticism across the development stack by championing immutability during development (with languages like Clojure), deployment (leveraging tools like Docker and Kubernetes), and provisioning and configuration via code (toolkits like Ansible, Terraform, Packer, everything-as-code).

Raju is a published author, internationally known public speaker and trainer.
Raju can be found on Twitter as @looselytyped.
In his spare time, you will find Raju reading, playing with technology, or spending time with his wonderful (and significantly better) other half.

Presentations

Web Application Design from a Developer's perspective

Poorly designed web applications fail to serve both the business and the users, leading to a unnecessary costs, and frustrated customers. By keeping the user in mind, and following a few simple guidelines, you can make huge leaps in the way your users interact with your applications.

JavaScript Patterns

In this session we will look at some JavaScript patterns, and how you can use them within your code.

EAI: Lucid dialogues within the enterprise

The enterprise today consists of tens, if not hundreds of applications, all designed to meet the needs of the business. These applications rarely live in a silo, and often there is a need to establish a communication protocol between these applications.

Learning to Learn

In this session we will look to see how we can refactor our learning - what tools, and methodologies can we use to help us learn quicker and better - how we can create a store that gives us quick access to information when we really need it.

On Prototypal Inheritance

You are a JavaScript developer who has gotten past writing one-off scripts on pages and wants to leverage the true power of the language. You have tasted the power of objects, and inheritance in Java, and hope to put the same to work for you in JavaScript.
