I ENABLE EARLY-CAREER ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE

01 / ABOUT THIS SESSION

Embracing microservices also means embracing distributed systems. Distributed systems carry with them multiple challenges. One set of challenges includes problem of visibility into the behavior of the composite system, understanding that behavior, and being able to isolate the cause(s) of problematic behavior. These challenges can be addressed by applying the techniques known collectively as Distributed Tracing.

In this presentation, we’ll examine the theory of distributed tracing put forth in Google’s Dapper paper, and we’ll look at how this theory is put into practice in the design of Zipkin, an OSS distributed tracing platform.

I ENABLE EARLY-CAREER ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE

My passion is taking a metaphysical approach to software engineering: what is the nature of the collaborative game that we continuously play, and are there better, more contextually-aware ways to play that game?

By day I lead a team tasked with taking a first-principles-centric approach to intentionally enabling programming language usage at the largest bank in the United States.

By night I write and teach my way through a masterclass in software engineering and architecture targeting early-career software engineers working in large-scale enterprise technology organizations.

What is the primary goal?

To win the game. More seriously: to get 1% better every day at providing business value through software.

Who am I?

I'm a 22-year veteran of the enterprise software industry. I've played almost every role I can imagine:

Software Engineer
Software Architect
Technical Lead
Engineering Manager
Consultant
Product Manager
Field CTO
Developer Advocate
Conference Speaker
Author
Technical Trainer
Technical Marketer
Site Reliability Engineer
Desktop Support Specialist

I've worked at Fortune 500 companies, a tenacious teal cloud startup, and a not-for-profit children's hospital. I've written a book, and I've hosted a podcast. I've learned a lot along the way, including many things I wish I'd known when I first got started. And so now I want to pass those learnings on to you, especially if you've only just begun your career.
