Ayon Roy

Ayon Roy

Imagine a world where cutting-edge technology teams up with unyielding passion to take on the biggest challenges of our time. That's where I come in. I'm Ayon Roy, and I'm not just about crunching numbers and lines of code.

I'm on a mission to leverage the extraordinary capabilities of Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence to tackle the pressing issues of sustainability and climate change.

What truly fires me up is the idea of using AI to tackle sustainability and climate-related challenges. I've had my fair share of adventures in the world of Data Science, AI, and ML, having hopped through various internships. Right now, I'm proudly wearing the hat of an Executive Data Scientist at NielsenIQ, where I get to channel my passion into meaningful projects.

However, my journey doesn't stop at my day job—I'm deeply involved in giving back to the community. I spend time mentoring hackathons and boot camps, helping budding tech enthusiasts find their way.

When it comes to speaking, I'm no stranger to the stage. I've stood in front of audiences around the world, delivering over 70 technical talks at international and national conferences, as well as meetups. From India to the USA, Ireland to Nigeria, and even Japan, I've taken the stage physically and virtually, adapting to different formats and keeping the crowd engaged.

But I'm not just about speaking; I'm also a firm believer in hands-on involvement. I've mentored over 100 hackathons, collaborating with prestigious institutions like John Hopkins School of Medicine, Jawaharlal Nehru University, IIT Madras, and Delhi University. It's my way of giving back and nurturing the next wave of innovators.

One of my proudest achievements is organizing India's First Kaggle Days Meetup in Delhi NCR, a platform that brings together minds hungry for knowledge and collaboration. And yes, I also indulge in reviewing technical books because staying ahead of the curve matters to me.

If you want to know more about me, check out my Personal Website (https://ayon-roy.netlify.app) or connect with me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayon-roy/). I'm excited about the chance to share my journey, insights, and passions with your event. Let's make it awesome together!

Lately the greening of IT has gained more of my interest. A topic that seems to not be considered while we're all building new software and services. It's time for the World to add the greening of IT to our digital transformations as well.

You can always contact me to talk about subjects like: DevOps, Cloud Computing, Sustainable IT, and Growth Mindset.

Ângela Karina de Oliveira

Ângela Karina de Oliveira

An entrepreneur with a main focus on business expansion, establishing market positions and developing cutting-edge and environmentally friendly materials. I help construction professionals not only in the selection of materials, but also in the search for effective solutions.

With over a decade of experience in architecture and design, a significant part of my career has been dedicated to technical specification, contributing to notable national and international projects that have achieved LEED and WELL certifications for sustainable construction and well-being.

As the founder of Mood Design, I seek innovation and technology through sustainability.
Our focus is to bring the best solutions in the world for exteriors (facades).

In 2023, we launched the world's first table that captures carbon during the largest design fair in the world, marking a pioneering feat in Brazilian technology. The Ópera table, inaugurated at Milan Design Week, incorporates design elements inspired by the architectural landscape of Curitiba. The capital of Paraná in the 1990s, paying homage to its parks, public spaces and innovative urban language. The inspiration was the city of Curitiba as that was where I grew up and lived my whole life.

The table's design is also inspired by Roman architectural aesthetics, mixing modernity with antiquity and presenting a fusion of local and global influences.

The Ópera table features Active®, an ultra-compact coating (6 mm thick) with advanced technological attributes, with emphasis on carbon capture.

This unique coating, applied to the table surface, effectively removes pollutants and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the surrounding air through a photocatalytic process, facilitated by ambient light and humidity.

Additionally, Active® offers antibacterial and antiviral properties, including 99% efficacy against SARS-CoV-2, along with anti-odor and self-cleaning capabilities. It has several international certifications, including ISO and LEED, and contributes to 11 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We presented at the "Innovation for Living" exhibition, organized by Designtech in collaboration with Isola Design District and Designwanted, held in "La Cattedrale" (Via Mario Pannunzio, 3) in Certosa. The exhibition, curated by renowned design firm Pinininfarina, highlighted innovative solutions for contemporary living.
