I’ve always been fascinated by what keeps an aircraft safely flying long after it leaves the factory. Behind every flight is a maintenance program built from thousands of technical requirements, engineering decisions, regulatory obligations, and lessons learned from aircraft operating around the world. That is the part of aviation where I have built my career.

I currently work as a Manager of Maintenance Programs at Vista America, specializing in aircraft maintenance programs, continuing airworthiness, OEM technical data, regulatory compliance, reliability, and maintenance analytics. My work involves turning complex technical and regulatory information—from MPDs and Airworthiness Directives to Service Bulletins, STCs, and ICAs—into maintenance requirements that can be effectively managed in real-world operations.

Beyond my professional role, I serve as a Board Director of the Ohio Aviation Association, where I have the opportunity to contribute to broader conversations around aviation development, industry collaboration, and the future aviation workforce.

One area that particularly interests me is what happens when traditional aviation engineering meets data analytics and artificial intelligence. I believe the next evolution of aircraft maintenance will not simply be about predicting failures. It will also be about using data and intelligent tools to better understand technical information, identify changes, improve reliability, support engineers, and make maintenance programs more accurate and responsive.

My background combines aviation and analytics, including a Master’s in Business Analytics from Kent State University, a Master’s in Aviation, and a Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering.

When I speak, I like to take complicated aviation topics and connect them to the practical challenges professionals face every day. I enjoy sharing what I have learned, exchanging ideas with others in the industry, and exploring a simple question that continues to drive my work:
How can we make aircraft maintenance smarter without compromising the discipline, traceability, and safety that aviation demands?

Hi! I’m Nicolas, a developer with over 25 years of experience, now working as a freelance mobile app developer.

My journey has taken me from programming MS-DOS games to building electronic test systems for the oil industry, before transitioning to mobile development in 2017.

Everything changed during an eco-volunteering mission in French Polynesia, where I monitored sea turtles. This experience inspired *“We Spot Turtles!”*, a side project that has since become one of my main activities as a freelancer.

In 2022, an unexpected encounter with an Australian helped propel the project onto the international stage, eventually leading to it being featured by Google in a global campaign.

Today, I build this solution using Flutter, co-organize the Flutter Nantes meetup, and aim to expand the impact of this application dedicated to sea turtle conservation worldwide.

Marty Brunke is the author of The Ready Enterprise and the founder and CEO of VaughnMartin, the company behind Readiness OS.

After spending the first ten years of his career in business, Marty stepped into a very different operating environment: coaching college football at Stanford University. During five years at Stanford, he experienced an organizational model in which preparation was not a philosophy or methodology. It was the operating architecture that allowed people to recognize situations, make decisions, coordinate, and execute under pressure.

When Marty returned to the corporate world, he carried a question that would shape the next twenty years of his career: Why do capable organizations wait until a strategic situation arrives before assembling the ownership, authority, information, funding, and coordinated response needed to address it?

While leading enterprise transformation at Ford, Toyota, Lockheed Martin, Charles Schwab, and Boyd Gaming, he observed the same pattern across industries, challenges, and opportunities. Organizations repeatedly pay the full cost of assembling a response precisely when time matters most.

Marty developed Enterprise Readiness to close that gap and created Readiness OS to make the discipline operational and persistent. His talks show executives, strategy leaders, and PMO professionals how to build the preparation layer between strategy and execution—so their organizations are already moving when the situation arrives.

I'm Florian Metzger-Noel, a computer scientist with a particular interest in distributed systems, knowledge graphs and automation with compositions of LLMs.

I've been programming since 1990, when learning to code meant working through printed reference books and writing BASIC on a monochrome 8086. I got hooked and never stopped building after that.

At 21 I co-founded a software company, grew it over eight years and finally sold it. While running the company I studied fine art at Berlin University of the Arts, working with generative art and genetic algorithms.

I played jazz double bass professionally for 15 years, more than 300 concerts across 34 countries. I co-founded a cultural association, ran a fringe theatre for two years, and built a restaurant, which I grew and managed over nine years. Parallel to running the restaurant I studied for a computer-science degree.

Since 2022 I've worked as a software architect at ML!PA, where I started what is now L-IoT — a platform for managing industrial device fleets. The idea existed in fragments, prototype scripts and notes. Those I formalised into an architecture, prototyped it, and built the team that turned it into what is today the company's flagship platform used by Knorr-Bremse, KAEFER and Liebherr, among others.

Today my work has shifted into open source research published under my name, carried inside my contract at ML!PA. I focus full time on Ranke-Graph, a provenance-first data structure for verifiable knowledge graphs: machine-readable institutional memory in which every answer traces back to its sources. Two papers and the specification are written, with a reference implementation in Go. Alongside it I build Sindri, an open-source sandboxed orchestrator for AI coding agents that makes them cooperate like members of an organisation. I've worked with LLMs since the GPT-3 era and have run production systems on them since 2023, in educational and industrial use cases.

I speak on both halves of that work: the industrial edge, and the research. Both live where disciplines meet, which is usually where the interesting problems are.

Ignacio "Nacho" Agustin Randazzo is a security researcher and embedded systems engineer based in Villa Carlos Paz, Córdoba, Argentina. With 8+ years across ASIC digital design, Linux infrastructure administration, vulnerability research, and embedded development, he works across the entire stack -- from silicon to software to security. He believes in understanding systems from the transistor up, and that breadth is not a lack of focus -- it's the ability to see threats and solutions that specialists miss.

He previously built AI-assisted security audit tooling at Maxwell Security (2024-2025), where he designed reproducible assessment pipelines and automation for vulnerability discovery. Before that, he designed production RTL for multi-million-gate fiber optic ASICs at Marvell Technology and managed Linux infrastructure at UTN's research center (CIII). He has conducted security audits of electronic voting systems, developed embedded Linux drivers for biomedical research hardware, and designed dynamically reconfigurable FPGA communication channels for DSP emulation.

Before the LLM era, he worked on neural networks and studied the underlying mathematics. Now he builds agentic systems with local models, focused on security, trust, and sovereignty. His current project, i.ar, is a self-modifying AI operating environment built in Emacs, hardened in Podman, powered entirely by local LLMs -- no cloud, no telemetry, no backdoors. He built it in 10 days without knowing Emacs Lisp; the AI wrote most of the code, including the parts he couldn't.

He is a strong advocate for free/libre software and self-hosted infrastructure. He spoke at ekoparty 2024 on FPGA-based password hash cracking, demonstrating power efficiency near GPU performance at Arduino-level power draw. He returns in 2026 to talk about what happens when you give an AI agent a terminal and let it modify its own code.

He holds a B.Sc. in Electronic Engineering from UTN (Universidad Tecnológica Nacional), Córdoba, with honors-level GPA (8/10) and specialization in digital design and computer architecture. He is C2 proficient in English (University of Michigan certificate, IICANA). He is an active CTF competitor, bug bounty researcher, and open-source contributor.
