Mark Nunnikhoven

Mark Nunnikhoven explores the impact of technology on individuals, organizations, and communities through the lens of privacy and security. Asking the question, "How can we better protect our information?" Mark studies the world of cybercrime to better understand the risks and threats to our digital world.

As the Vice President of Cloud Research at Trend Micro, a longtime Amazon Web Services Advanced Technology Partner and provider of security tools for the AWS Cloud, Mark uses that knowledge to help organizations around the world modernize their security practices by taking advantage of the power of the AWS Cloud.

Larry Ogrodnek

Larry Ogrodnek has been a professional software developer for 15 years working in security, networks, ad-tech and high volume web services. He considers himself a futurist programmer and has built world-class development teams and scalable systems at multiple startups.

Larry has spent the last 6 years as an engineering leader at Bizo, a data-driven marketing platform recently acquired by LinkedIn. Larry is a founding member of the Bizo engineering team where he began building Bizo on AWS from day one (2008!). He continued to utilize almost every AWS service as it became available and loves to shut down systems when new AWS alternatives present themselves. Early on, the team at Bizo used to brag about the leverage AWS provided by saying they had "more data centers than engineers." In addition, Larry is the co-founder and organizer of the Advanced AWS Meetup group in SF which was the first group dedicated to topics for companies running AWS at scale.

Larry enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter and loves hacking on electronics. His personal blog advertises itself as “the intersection of sandwiches, technology, and beer culture.” Larry is also passionate about public transportation, art, and connecting the digital and analog worlds.

Mike Fiedler

He’s also taught a few people some things here and there. Currently Director of TechOps at Warby Parker, he is an alum of Capital One (Paribus), Datadog, Magnetic, MongoDB, to name a few.

An early adopter of AWS technologies, he's looked to the container world to provide solutions that meet the ever-growing demands of the business, while keeping the ability to develop and deliver on-time at the forefront.

He's spoken at DevOpsDays on how to adapt AWS ECS to extend features, and has worked with some of the solutions teams to explore newer ways of accomplishing high-quality.
