GOOGLE DEVELOPER GROUP

I am a PhD in Computer Engineering with 20+ years of experience in software design, research & development across industry, academia, startups and consultancy. Projects have targeted distributed systems, ubiquitous computing, mobile middleware, interactive television and mobile/web applications... I manage Google Developer Group chapters (GDG Hudson Valley & GDG New York City) with a collective reach of over 7000 members in the greater New York area. I organize the DevFest NYC (2-day, multi-track developer focused) and IWD NYC (1-day Women Techmakers) conferences, and diverse 1-day training workshops (PWA Camp, Android Camp, ML Camp etc.). I was also a GDG Northeast Mentor (2015-2017) and helped incubate multiple chapters in the region... I enjoy public speaking and have spoken on research at IEEE/ACM conferences, and on software development at events like DroidCon, Grace Hopper, MongoDB World, OSCON, DevFest and more.
