Brice Fernandes

Brice fell in love with programming while studying physics and never really looked back since. He has a broad technology background that covers everything from embedded C to backendless browser apps using the trendiest javascript frameworks. He taught Game Development and Functional Programming online and founded his own education platform for developers before joining Weaveworks. He now spends his time making microservices and containers so simple even your cat can deploy and monitor them. Come talk to him about programming, creating closed ecological systems and leatherworking.

Jez Humble

Jez Humble is co-author of The DevOps Handbook, Lean Enterprise, and the Jolt Award winning Continuous Delivery. He has spent his career tinkering with code, infrastructure, and product development in companies of varying sizes across three continents, most recently working for the US Federal Government at 18F. He is currently researching how to build high performing teams at his startup, DevOps Research and Assessment LLC, and teaching at UC Berkeley.

Adrian Cockcroft

Adrian Cockcroft is a technologist and strategist with broad experience from the bits to the boardroom, in both enterprise and consumer-oriented businesses, from startups to some of the largest companies in the world, equally at home with hardware and software, development and operations. He’s best known as the cloud architect for Netflix during their trailblazing migration to AWS and was a very early practitioner and advocate of DevOps, microservices, and chaos engineering, helping bring these concepts to the wider audience they have today.

He spent the last few years as a VP at Amazon deeply immersed in the dual challenges of helping Amazon itself - one of the largest companies in the world - become more sustainable, and via AWS - one of the largest technology suppliers in the world - helping its enterprise and public sector customers become more sustainable. With European regulations in place, and the US following a similar path, most large organizations are confronted with new requirements to report on their ability to operate sustainably, and the physical and transition risks they face.

There is an industry wide fascination with the success of both Netflix and Amazon, their culture and ideas, and Adrian has been distilling these learnings and sharing them with executives for many years. The Cloud for CEOs booklet - Measure Innovation with One Metric - 2019 is a short summary of his thoughts.

Adrian worked at Sun Microsystems for many years and wrote the Sun Performance and Tuning book that can still be found on many technologist’s bookshelves. He was a distinguished engineer in the performance engineering team and chief architect of the High Performance Technical Computing team led by Shahin Khan. Re-joining Shahin as a Partner and Analyst at OrionX continues a friendship and working relationship that has been in place for decades.

Adrian led the process of joining and represented Amazon on the board of both the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), and the Open Source Climate foundation (OS-Climate). He was previously an independent board member for European IT service provider Trifork, and while at Sun, helped form the Enterprise Grid Alliance. He’s been a member of the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) since 2016.

He's held past advisory positions at the following companies (acquired by): DeepDyve, Liquid Robotics (Boeing), Apcera (Ericsson), Ayla Networks, NGINX (F5), Docker, Instana (IBM), Gremlin, and will announce some additional advisory positions soon.

Adrian has a BSc in Applied Physics and Electronics from The City University, London, UK. He’s a frequent speaker and keynoted many events for AWS including many of the AWS Global Summit series, and has presented at many events such as the Monitorama, GOTO, YOW, QCon and DevOps Days conferences.

Matthew Stine

Matt Stine is a 17 year veteran of the enterprise IT industry, with eight of those years spent as a consulting solutions architect for multiple Fortune 500 companies, as well as the not-for-profit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He is the author of Migrating to Cloud-Native Application Architectures from O’Reilly, and the host of the Software Architecture Radio podcast.

Matt is obsessed with the idea that enterprise IT “doesn’t have to suck,” and spends much of his time thinking about lean/agile software development methodologies, DevOps, architectural principles/patterns/practices, and programming paradigms, in an attempt to find the perfect storm of techniques that will allow corporate IT departments to not only function like startup companies, but also create software that delights users while maintaining a high degree of conceptual integrity. He is currently the product owner for Spring at Pivotal, and spends much of his time driving an active feedback loop between the Spring R&D organization and customers developing cloud-native application architectures.

Matt has spoken at conferences ranging from JavaOne to OSCON to YOW!, is a seven-year member of the No Fluff Just Stuff tour, and serves as Technical Editor of NFJS the Magazine. Matt is also the founder and past president of the Memphis Java User Group.
