Denise Yu

Denise is a Senior Software Engineer at Pivotal Cloud Foundry. She has worked on a variety of open source and enterprise ​projects, doing things like packaging open-source data projects such as RabbitMQ and Redis so Cloud Foundry app developers ​can use them as backing data stores for their applications. Denise has previously delivered conference talks on topics ranging from ​continuous delivery to functional programming to scaling company culture. She enjoys learning about distributed systems, release ​engineering, and Linux kernel programming. When she's not writing conference talks she spends a lot of time sketching and ​doodling pictures of cats using computers, which you can see at: deniseyu.io/art

Diana Pham

With a high spirit and a low sense of mortality, Diana completed her master’s in CS regardless of never having coded prior to ​grad school. Through her passion of learning and teaching tech, she found her calling in advocacy where she exercises her ​creativity through conference talks and content creation. She loves thinking her plugged-in science plant is a farm in Colorado, ​trying new food, and eating oysters.

Hazel Weakly

Hazel spends her days working on building out teams of humans as well as the infrastructure, systems, and tooling to make life ​better for others. She’s worked at a variety of companies and knows that the hardest problems to solve are the social ones. One of ​her favorite things is watching someone light up when they understand something for the first time, and a goal of hers is to help as ​many people as possible experience that joy. She also loves swing dancing, both as a leader and a follower.
