David Hrncir has been solving "Big Data" problems since before the industry had a name for them. As a veteran software and data engineer at Fivetran, David’s career is defined by a singular, defiant mission: the total elimination of non-value-added activities. Having architected data ecosystems for Fortune 500 giants across every vertical, David is a leading advocate for Open Data Infrastructure (ODI) and end-to-end automation. He believes that in the age of AI, building complex, manual data integrations is a relic of the past that hinders true innovation. Today, David partners with global tech leaders to prove that when organizations stop "moving" data and start "utilizing" it, they unlock the real potential of AI and modern analytics. Known for his "no challenge is too big" attitude, David balances technical rigor with a philosophical approach to data—making him a favorite on expert panels and hands-on labs alike.

I sit right at the messy intersection of hard science and market strategy. As a Technology Transfer Officer at UM6P, my day job is helping inventions survive the 'Valley of Death'—that difficult gap between a lab discovery and a shelf-ready product.

I’m an engineer by training (Arts & Métiers) and PMP certified, so I’ve been in the trenches. Having co-authored research on frugal innovation, water treatment and mining platforms, I know the frustration of engineering challenges firsthand.

Right now, I’m focused on one thing: using AI to streamline the innovation process. I’m currently building workflows that help researchers and startups use Google's multimodal models to validate inventions, analyze prior art, and simulate complex systems before they ever hit the market.

Marine Corps Veteran, Storyteller, and Hackivist disrupting power-based violence through online access to education and community care with over eighteen years experience in the technical and operational program management of space and military intelligence federal contracts in the United States.

I made a promise to support and defend the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I take that VERY seriously, and will fight for your right to hate me. I will not, however, tolerate acts of violence directed at individuals for simply taking up space, acts of coercion through threats of violence, or any attempt at using violence as a way to maintain power. I will speak out and take the defense for any victim of violence (in all of its forms) and all individuals impacted by the use of power-based violence.

I believe in the power of storytelling energy as a renewable resource capable of magic, the kindness of strangers, and ability to overcome hardship through communal care. I use the arts of satire, drag, and boudoir performance to make light of extremely controversial and traumatic but historical events that surround United States Post World War II Military History.
