About the speaker:

Rich Jones is a prolific open source software developer, archetypal hacker-nomad, founder of the bespoke talent agency Gun.io, and the author of Zappa, Python's serverless framework.

In addition to his open source work, he has provided consulting services for dozens of startups, and was most recently a cloud architect and software developer at the Childhood Cancer Data Lab, where he was responsible for the architecture, application development and operations of a system which processed petabytes of genetic data in order to accelerate the the use of artificial intelligence in the hunt for cures of rare cancers. Rich is known for his fast-paced, wide-ranging and informative talks. He has spoken at DjangoCon, the Chaos Communication Congress, Full Stack Fest and many other conferences across four continents and a dozen countries.
