Attention All TechWeek Tech Geeks:
Here it is... your chance to learn from Groupon's director of engineering.
Shinji Kuwayama develops infrastructure, operations and growth for Groupon. He leads several Groupon development teams and helps to ensure that the Groupon.com website keeps on whirring through exponential global growth and massive bursts of traffic. His current assignments include site performance, customer growth, hiring and international back-office engineering. He's an avid Rubyist and you might find him hanging out on GitHub.
When he's not making Groupon tick, he spends time working with November Eleven, a nonprofit that supports independent media, research and humanitarian aid efforts.
Shinji leads a TechWeek training session on a topic that's close to his heart - "Scaling a Development Team." He'll talk about how to preserve a startup culture while also becoming a larger, more mature team, and he'll field your questions about scaling and building fast-moving development teams.
Here's Shinji on Twitter, and here's his BuiltInChicago page.
His session runs from 3:30 to 4:30 pm Monday, July 25 at the Merchandise Mart. You know the drill by now - register now on the TechWeek website.
