Both of my talks are overcoming the challenges of modern software products. Zero-downtime deployment session will empathize on the possibility of always-up systems and making continuous deployment more adoptable. There are a few things to watch out on this space and I am hoping to highlight on that by giving examples and demos on my real world experiences.
The docker session will get you a higher level on how a tool can make a difference on developing and releasing products, in this case microservices.
I like to be part of the software community. So, I produce a lot. You can follow my activity on my blog and GitHub account.
I love traveling and discovering new places. I am a huge Formula 1 fan.

Enjoy the following series of interviews with the speakers, top-notch software crafters from across Europe, joining I T.A.K.E Unconference, Bucharest, 11-12 May. Discover the lessons learned and what drives them to challenge the known path in their field.
Karina Popova, Head of Development at Link Mobility, as been working as DevOps Lead last 10 years. At #itakeunconf she will include in her talk a lot of real working IoT use cases and their potential impact of a combination IoT with AI.
The five most important thing for my growth includes:
1. Education, I have spent almost 20 years studying and it was a key point in my professional growth.
2. Travelling, meeting people with different culture and observing their solutions.
3. Reading, especially biographies, as history always repeats.
5. Attending IT events, to learn the basics of new technologies, keep track of trends and have an awesome deep conversations
Attendees will learn what is the potential impact of AI in the IoT sphere, what real IoT use cases with AI on top have been already implemented and how can we increase the quality of life with the AI+IoT.
Three most important sources for inspiration before my talk are the book “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, the movie “Bicentennial Man” and my Instagram.

Alin Pandichi, Software Developer at MozaicLabs and facilitator of the monthly Coding Dojo meeting that is part of the largerBucharest Agile Sofware Meetup Group, will share during his talk at I T.A.K.E Unconference more about Covariance and contravariance.
I’ll answer this with a little bit of story telling about how I became a software developer. The first two things that helped me were attending the computer science oriented high school and college. There, I learned the basics of computers and programming languages. I also noticed how effortlessly I was solving CS related problems, so maybe I was onto something.
Number three: I got my first job straight out of college, developing a Swing rich client application saving data with JPA. This put me face to face with real world problems. I was faced with the fact that continuous learning is a must in this industry.
Therefore, number four on the list is learning. For the first few couple of years, I kept devouring every Java-related article I could find on DZone. With each one, I found out something new: a useful tool, a Linux terminal command, a development methodology, etc.
Last, but not least, is getting involved with local software development communities. I started attending meetups such as The Bucharest Agile Software Meetup Group and the Bucharest Java User Group. Gradually, I became an active member of both, giving a helping hand in organizing their events. On top of that, I also got involved in the wider community of Global Day of Coderetreat. My talk at I TAKE 2017 is one of the occasional opportunities I get to share what I know.
They will find it easier to understand the concepts of covariance and contravariance, and how they are applied in the world of programming. In my experience, it was very easy to forget what these two words meant. Not anymore.
I dream big, so my biggest source of inspiration is science fiction. My first serious SF encounter was with Frank Herbert’s Dune series. Out of the contemporary authors, I enjoy Neil Gaiman’s work very much.
Whenever I get a chance, I tune into Nick Francis’ podcast called Quiet Music. It is a blend of low beat music of various genres: electronic, jazz, instrumental, folk, light rock, and so on.
Cinema is one of my other hobbies. I am very much interested in following every film festival happening in Bucharest. Also, the Romanian cinema of the past two decades has offered many gems so far, and it continues to do so.
