Beth is a software engineer at Flywheel, a web infrastructure startup in Omaha, Nebraska. She’s also a former airborne cryptologic linguist for the US Air Force, fluent in Mandarin. Things you can ask her about include Ruby, cats, board games, BSG, karaoke, and building applications that convert songs into auto-tuned cat meows. Things she’ll have to kill you if you ask her about: the airborne linguist part. Also, she likes to make emojis look like they’re farting. 🐈💨
Nathan Ladd has flowing locks of dark splendor and will unashamedly exploit your susceptibility for attributing credibility to people merely because they are tall. Nathan is a contributor to the Eventide toolkit for event-sourced, autonomous services in Ruby.
Scott Bellware is a short, bald man with 25 years of experience who works with development teams who have completely screwed themselves into an intractable mess of tightly-coupled monolithic madness by paying attention to cute people rather than smart people. Scott is a contributor to the Eventide toolkit for event-sourced, autonomous services in Ruby, but Scott does it better than Nathan, and he’s totally not bitter.
Louisa is the Director of the Front-End Engineering program at the Turing School of Software and Design. She is the former director of Colorado for Women Who Code and past chapter leader for Girl Develop It Denver/Boulder. She began her career as an illustrator/graphic designer, and a passion for understanding people lead her to programming. She has a soft spot for UX, typography, and correcting students when they refer to an assignment operator as an ‘equals sign’.
Andrew is a software developer based in Toronto. He’s currently working on building a digital Memex as well as researching the history of similar projects. Previously, he was the co-founder and CTO of ShopLocket, an ecommerce startup acquired in 2014. When he’s not coding, he spends his time on obsessive projects such as attempting to bike on every street in Toronto, taking photos of only doors (instagram: @hyfen), and making voxel art.
\watching Star Wars in Postgres and other silly thingsWill doesn’t really want to think about how long he’s been working with Postgres. He is currently working on horizontally scalable Postgres at Citus Data, and before that was a principal member of the Heroku Postgres team.

Socialization Practices
The Conference venue is the historically weird Alamo Ritz Drafthouse, located in the heart of downtown. Each theater seat has its own table. During the conference you'll enjoy some weird talks as you're served gourmet food from the comfort of your oversized seat. All in front of one of the largest screens we've ever seen.
We love spreading the love. That’s why we record and publish all the amazing talks that have been given at KRW. Dive into our libary of 33 videos.
