**Sponsor Talk: A Secure, Self-hosted Cloud Development Environment for Financial Services (Eric Paulsen, Coder)**

Coder is a secure, self-hosted cloud development environment that quickly provisions any dev environment either on-prem or in your public or private cloud. Onboarding takes minutes instead of days. Source code & data is moved from end-user laptops into your centralized & secure control resulting in increased productivity, governance and a better experience for your devs with immediate cost savings. At scale, Coder's customers such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, several NYC Hedge funds, Vanguard and many other well-known FSS institutions have all gained significant economic impact for their development orgs.

**Speaker Bio**

Eric Paulsen is the Field CTO and VP of the EMEA Organization at Coder.com, an open-source, self-hosted cloud development environment platform. He is the Founding Sales Engineer at Coder and leads Developer Experience transformation for customers in highly regulated industries.

**Talk #1: Building AI/ML Infrastructure for Finance with Open Source (Tucker Vento, Bloomberg)**

Bloomberg is a global engineering firm that has made significant investments into embracing AI/ML in our products. In order to support the scale and diversity of our ML development efforts while also keeping pace with the developing trends across the industry, we've adopted and contributed to numerous open source products to ensure our scalability and flexibility in this rapidly expanding space. Come learn how Bloomberg has built our AI/ML infrastucture platforms using open source and cloud native technologies, and how this strategy has yielded better products more rapidly for our engineers.

**Speaker Bio**

Tucker Vento is the team lead for Bloomberg's AI Training & Jupyter Notebooks team, which helps to maintain the Bloomberg Data Science Platform platform used by engineers to experiment on data and train meaningful ML models. His previous stints include building an internal chaos engineering platform, reliability engineering for the e-mail and instant messaging services in the Bloomberg Terminal, and (once upon a time) improving the performance of desktop physics simulation software. When he is not busy breaking things or chairing Bloomberg's Reliability Engineering Guild, Tucker enjoys listening to fast cars, making bad music, and relaxing with his two cats.

**Talk #2: Overview of Platform Engineering findings from the 2024 DORA Report (James Brookbank, Google)**

DORA has been investigating the capabilities, practices, and measures of high-performing technology-driven teams and organizations for over a decade. In this session we will present the latest research findings from the platform engineering chapter of the DORA 2024 report. With some additional insights from research currently underway by Google.

**Speaker Bio**

James Brookbank is a cloud solutions architect manager at Google based in NYC. Solution architects help make cloud easier for Google’s customers by solving complex technical problems and providing expert architectural guidance. Before joining Google, James worked at a number of large enterprises with a focus on IT infrastructure and financial services.
