Johnny Xmas

Johnny Xmas

Johnny Xmas is the Global Head of Offensive Security for a Fortune 200 manufacturing and agriculture corporation, where he leads a formal offensive security program spanning penetration testing, red teaming, adversarial simulation, and exposure assessment.

He's also earned recognition for exposing critical vulnerabilities in mainstream consumer infrastructure—most notably the TSA Master Key leaks and Venmo stalking vectors.

Today, he applies that same skepticism to enterprise security programs, asking the questions most organizations desperately avoid.

Erissa Duvall

Erissa Duvall

Everyone has their niche in the world where they find the most joy and fulfillment. For me that has become Accessibility. Some of my experience comes from my personal ordeals I have gone through as I have steadily learned more about what makes my brain tick and what makes my joints throw a temper tantrum. My professional experience has helped me along the way because it is where I learned just how diverse the options were for accommodations, treatment, and more.

I was initially thrown into the deep end during my amazing journey with the American Printing House for the Blind's Internal IT department. I gained insight to some of the struggles caused when environments, processes, technology, and attitudes are not accessible. However, I also experienced great joy every time I managed to help make someone's day easier by helping them be more independent and confident in themselves. Since then, I have held many other Accessibility related roles and made it my mission to spread Accessibility awareness. I've done so through by improving Code Louisville's Accessibility policies and coursework as a mentor, speaking at domestic & international events, providing support online, and so much more. I plan to continue to do what I can for as long as I am able.

Vishal Alhat

Vishal Alhat

No pitch decks. No service demos. Just real solutions to real developer problems.

That's the promise Vishal Alhat brings to every stage. A former AWS Hero turned Developer Advocate at AWS, he has spent over 11 years as a practitioner — architecting cloud-native systems, automating infrastructure, and learning (sometimes the hard way) what it actually takes to ship resilient applications at scale.

Vishal specializes in AI/ML, Security, DevOps and FinOps. He speaks at major global conferences on zero-trust architectures, MLOps pipelines, and responsible GenAI development — always from a developer's perspective, focused on solving pain points with open standards and battle-tested patterns, not promoting platforms.

His community impact speaks for itself: 5,000+ developers mentored, the Community Builder of the Year award, and the HashiCorp Ambassador recognition — credentials earned by the ecosystem, not by a corporation. Through technical writing, open-source contributions, hands-on workshops, and speaking engagements, Vishal makes complex cloud concepts accessible to developers at all skill levels.

Whether he's helping a team adopt zero-trust without the complexity or demystifying secure AI pipelines, his mission is simple: help developers build boldly, ship confidently, and sleep peacefully.

Vishal is available for global speaking engagements and does not require travel or accommodation assistance.

Gunnard's current interests are where software engineering is heading next: AI-assisted development, agentic software engineering, developer productivity, automation, and the challenges of applying these technologies to real-world production systems. He is particularly interested in how teams can use AI to move faster while maintaining the testing, architecture, security, and engineering discipline required to ship reliable software.

He is also passionate about legacy application modernization and the practical techniques required to bring aging systems into the modern development ecosystem without simply throwing them away and starting over.

A longtime advocate for Free and Open Source Software, Gunnard has contributed to projects including WordPress, Devilbox, and DischordPHP. He has written for php[architect] and is the author of two PHP 8 books published by Apress.

Gunnard has spoken at MadisonPHP, LonghornPHP, Techlahoma, Chaos Carnival, and other technology events. He currently works as an engineering manager and architect while continuing to build software products, experiment with emerging technologies, and write about what he learns.

He lives with his wife and two sons in the North Georgia mountains.
