Raju Gandhi
Research Triangle Software Symposium
Raleigh · August 23 - 25, 2013
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
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.
Get things DONE!
Find yourself overwhelmed with hundreds of to-dos? Is your hard-drive littered with dozens of killer ideas that you started with enthusiasm and then just fizzled away? Do you feel like you are moving as fast as can but only getting to the wrong place quicker? Well perhaps this session will help.
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.
Gittin' Git
Git, at it's core, leverages a relatively simple data structure to maintain history. In this session we will take a look at this data-structure, which in turn will give us a better view of how Git manages history, and how better to work with it. NOTE: This is NOT an introduction to Git. This session assumes familiarity with Git concepts such as init, add, commit and merge.
