Subodh Dubey

As a Cloud Solutions Architect at Cloudtech, I design and develop cloud-native applications for customers using AWS serverless technologies. I leverage my AWS certifications and my experience as a former Cloud Engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver scalable, secure, and cost-effective solutions that meet customers’ needs and expectations.

My passion for problem-solving and distributed computing drives me to explore new ways of using technology to improve human life. I have worked on multiple projects involving ETL data pipelines, search engine migrations, container-based deployments, and programmatic workflows, using Python, Django, Flask, Boto3, CloudFormation, Terraform, GitLab CI, and other tools and frameworks.

I also have a strong background in web development, database management, and testing, which I acquired from my previous role as a Senior Software Engineer at ConsultAdd and my Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Computer/Information Technology from G.H. Raisoni College of Engineering (GHRCE), Nagpur.

Tara Furiani

Tara Furiani

What happens when you mix relentless drive, academic prowess, and an innate knack for reading people? You get Tara Furiani. She isn't just in the people business—she is the people business. With over two decades of transformative leadership under her belt, Tara shatters the conventional, often stodgy, paradigms of HR and corporate culture, bringing humanity back into the workplace.

Sporting dual Master's degrees in Psychology and Organizational Leadership, Tara's academic mettle is as rock-solid as her real-world chops. Her slew of advanced certifications isn't just for show; it’s her toolkit for crafting highly responsive, agile organizations. She’s been the mastermind behind multiple industry-defining shifts during her 13 years as a Chief People Officer for companies valued over $6 billion and employing more than 10,000 people worldwide.

But let's cut through the corporate jargon: Tara is a people champion. She fights for DEI not just as a buzzword but as a way of life, all the way from boardrooms on Earth to the realms of space, serving on NASA's DEI board. For Tara, equity isn't just a corporate initiative; it's a universal mandate.

Still think she’s all business? Think again. A mother of five and a doting partner, Tara knows the real-world application of work-life balance like no other. She's the driving force of her family and the beating heart of her home, roles she embraces with the same vigor as her corporate undertakings.

If you need further proof, lend an ear to her hit podcast, "Not the HR Lady," where she tackles the industry's stale narratives and offers fresh, often revolutionary, perspectives. And don't be fooled by the exec persona; she can drop a Dr. Dre lyric faster than you can say "organizational change."

When you partner with Tara Furiani, you’re not just getting a consultant or a thought leader. You’re aligning with a living, breathing catalyst for meaningful change—in your organization and in your life. Are you ready?

Juliane Gorman

Juliane Gorman

Since moving to Ireland in 2022, Juliane Gorman has been deeply inspired by the landscape and by the abundance of sheep that dot the Irish countryside. She was surprised to discover that their wool is no longer widely valued and is often treated as waste. This tension between a rich natural resource and its present underuse has become central to her creative practice.

In 2025, she began working more intentionally with Irish wool, exploring its textures and potential while reconnecting with a material that is both local and forgotten.

Drawn always to colour and to the shoreline, she began combining cyanotype printing with felting. Using seaweed foraged above the tideline, she creates sun-printed images on silk, which are then integrated into wool.

Through this process, Juliane transforms two undervalued natural materials, wool and seaweed, into works that celebrate the beauty of Ireland’s coast and countryside.
