Please join us at the Plated HQ for an evening of Tech Talks featuring Daniel Doubrovkine.

Daniel (aka dB.) is a seasoned entrepreneur, technologist, CTO at Artsy.net in New York, the largest online fine art marketplace and publication. Daniel graduated from University of Geneva in late 90s with a degree in Computer Science. Daniel is the creator and maintainer of many popular open-source projects and a lifetime artist.

Tech Talk Subject: 33 minutes, slack bots and solving human challenges with tech solutions.

dB will dive into the inspiration for his pet projects, including playplay.io, S’Up, Slava and 33 minutes. You’ll hear about the problems, the solutions, the technology, and how these tangents fit into his responsibilities as CTO at Artsy, and his role in the technology community. He’ll touch on bots, React Native, Relay and GraphQL, people, technology and business.

Tech Talk Subject: Maitredee – Simple messaging

Sending messages between services can involve a bunch of setup and bring in unnecessary complexity to an otherwise simple idea: you want to send a message and have services do something with the message. Maitredee is an opinionated pub/sub framework using Amazon SNS/SQS that makes it simple. We’ll talk about some of the reasoning and implications of decisions that were made along the way.
