NY #TechWeek Lunch & Learn: Boosting Value by Managing Technical Debt with SIG, AWS, CMU, and NerdWallet
Software Improvement Group (SIG) is pleased to present a lunch-and-learn networking event and roundtable during New York Tech Week. Join us to enjoy complimentary beverages and tasty bites as you connect with others in the industry, build relationships, and learn how to manage your costly technical debt from leading experts, including Amazon, Carnegie Mellon, and NerdWallet.
Ever since Ward Cunningham introduced the term "technical debt" in 1992, the concept has expanded well beyond code quality issues. We'll explore how to bridge a gap between engineers and management to tackle the different forms of technical debt that now exist. We need better language and stronger business cases to address these issues and find new ways to mitigate them using international standards, AI, modern tools, and compliance frameworks.
We’re thrilled to be joined by our roundtable experts:
Vidya Thangirala, Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Principal Solutions Architect, Modernization
Hakan Erdogmus, Carnegie Mellon University
Teaching Professor and MS-SE Program Lead
Prithvi Rajasekaran, NerdWallet
Software Engineer & Chapter Lead of GenAI Collective NYC
Jasper Geurts, Software Improvement Group (SIG)
Managing Director of SIG Americas
Agenda:
11:30am-11:45am: Arrival & Refreshments
11:45am-12:45pm: Roundtable Discussion
12:45pm-2pm: Networking Lunch
