Keynote Speaker:
Henrik Van Tassell
Hi, I’m Henrik, I enjoy building useful, practical solutions. My primary focus is software engineering, especially web development, but I also apply those skills to infrastructure through monitoring tools and infrastructure as code to ensure consistency and reproducibility. I’m currently studying Computer Science at the University of Vermont, and when I’m not staring at code, you’ll probably find me out on a 10+ mile unicycle ride.
