Jet Kernaghan enjoys engaging in dirt bike riding and bushwalking in Springbrook and the MacPherson Ranges, located in the scenic rim of his suburb 4123 QLD. However, his main passion lies in music production, with a specific interest in recording studio techniques. Jet is well-versed in using the log format for recording and prefers using Gibson Guitars and Native Instruments software. When it comes to digital audio workstations (DAWs), Jet often deliberates between Logic and Protools, weighing their respective pros and cons. As for determining the best DAW for music production, it remains subjective and depends on individual preferences and specific needs.

My name is Kiran Joy and I am a Senior consultant at Avanade. Currently, I am part of a REST API integration team and help different front-end teams integrate with a variety of backend systems working primary on.Net Web API. At work, I like to innovate on ELK (Elastic Logstash Kibana) stack with the aim of making debugging issues in development environments a bit less painfull. Before Avanade, I was a Sitecore developer for a digital agency.
Outside work my biggest technology passion is IOT (excluding the data analytics part). I am currently working on an Automated sprinkler system (painfully learning the fact that prototyping is easy and implementing it in a real environment is hard) at home using ESP2866, MQTT and home assistant.
Outside technology, I do enjoy woodworking, a game of soccer or cricket or go camping or 4Wding if I can negotiate time with my 18-month daughter (so far it is pretty one-sided as she always gets what she wants).

I work as a director in the Value & Solution Engineering group for BMC Intelligent Z Optimization and Transformation. My team of Solution Engineers works with clients all over the world helping them realize their Developer Experience dreams, which feeds right into maximizing their ability to contribute to DevOps and a more agile mainframe experience. There is nothing more exciting than to have a client jump up and realize that they are not actually hindered by the platform, it is the assumptions about the platform that hold them back. Many people have stated that, after starting a DevOps journey, that they actually build and deploy code faster than their distributed partners, which is awesome to hear!

In my spare time, I have 4 adult children and a wife that is an accomplished stage and technical director. Between ballet, stage, and music, much of our time is taken up by the arts, but my wife and I have taken up off-roading in our lifted Jeep, so we can literally get away from it all and climb over big rocks, just because they are there. My technical passions outside of mainframe DevOps center around AI and Virtual Reality, because I do see a revolution coming in how we build, consume, and leverage the digital world.

Hey, I’m Octophina!

I’ve been smell-blind since I was a toddler. I’ve had an eating disorder and body dysmorphia since my dad’s first suicide attempt when I was 15. I’ve experienced multiple episodes of major depression since my early 20s. My mom struggled with depression on her own when I was a toddler and my dad has battled alcohol addiction for decades. I suffered a miscarriage, and lost a loved one to cancer.

After getting to the edge of suicide, I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and bipolar disorder in my early 30s.

But this isn’t my story.

Being creative empowers me to re-sculpt my identity, re-design my reality, and re-write my story.

In addition to being what today’s standards define as “mentally ill,” I’m also a trained journalist, smell-blind food designer and stylist with over a decade of experience in the international food space, certified Mind Body Eating coach by The Institute for the Psychology of Eating, TEDx speaker, and Forbes 30 under 30 social entrepreneur.

I sold the art I made while recovering from suicidal depression in 2021 as NFTs and the profits supported me for 6 months.

But my history doesn’t define my story. I do.

Creativity is my go-to tool for self-empowerment, which helps me practice self-care, clear out my mental cache, and process difficult emotions and experiences.

This is how I turn my pain into power and use my challenges as catalysts for growth.
