November Meetup - Data Engineering and Browser Automation

Wellrailed has renamed to Ruby Wellington - but it's the same as usual just with a different name. We'll listen to some talks then share some pizza and a drink together!

Everyone is welcome - whether you're just starting out or a seasoned professional! While we're primarily a Ruby/Rails meetup, many of the topics will be applicable to all tech stacks.

Host
This November the team at PaperKite will host us at their offices.

PaperKite is a digital agency with a strong focus on mobile application development. They provide the tech behind BPMe, and are currently working with Te Whatu Ora on an app for everyone in Aotearoa called My Health Record.

Talks

• Data Engineering and Ruby
  Toh Jagraphob
  The Data Engineering ecosystem has exploded recently in the rise of AI. Ruby seems to be left behind in this space but what can we do about it ? How can we Ruby devs take advantage of this Data age ?

  Jordan Crawford
  Jordan shares his own woes when it comes to accessing personal financial data. The talk will explore the current landscape of solutions, several iterations of DIY solutions and some optimism for the open banking future.

Schedule
Doors open at 5pm and we'll kick off at 5.20pm.
