Title: The Data Dilemma
Speaker: Gustavo Tandeciarz,
Public Sector Business Strategy Director and Salesforce Certified Technical Architect (CTA) at Salesforce.

Abstract:
The technology landscape has gone through unprecedented change in the last 20 years. We’ve gone from basic internet email and web browsing, to complex multi-billion node data graphs, AI and Machine Learning, and real-time analysis of millions of personal data points, all stored across zettabytes of global data. As such, the industry has seen a critical shift in workforce specialization and governance. I invite you to explore the current trends we see in the technology space, from ethical guidance to cyber-security and privacy discussions, and the ubiquitous challenges we face.

Bio:
Gustavo Tandeciarz is a Public Sector Business Strategy Director and Salesforce Certified Technical Architect (CTA) at Salesforce. As a data security evangelist, self-taught technologist, software developer, cloud architect, and one of only 400 CTA’s in the world, Gustavo leads multiple teams conducting critical technical assessments and architecture design reviews, while supporting several federal agencies in the DoD, IC, and DHS domains with their Salesforce implementations and cyber-security infrastructure. He’s a realist, a pragmatist, and an equality evangelist. Gustavo will provide unique insight within the industry and discuss technological and societal trends as seen through his boots-on-the-ground experience within the federal space and private sector.
