Ayoade Adegbite is a Senior Analytics Engineer, open-source builder, and technical speaker focused on the intersection of data, AI, and software engineering.

He builds practical tools that solve problems he encounters in real data teams—from data quality and governance to AI usage and developer experience. His open-source work includes AgentAbacus, a tool for interpreting and tracking AI agent usage and costs, and Governance Atlas, a practical guide to data protection and privacy for data professionals. He has also built developer tooling and extensions around technologies including dbt, Spark, and VS Code.

His work sits at an interesting intersection: understanding the business problem, translating it into a technical solution, and then building something people can actually use.

As a speaker, Ayoade focuses on practical, experience-driven talks that make complex topics understandable without stripping away the technical depth. His sessions explore data engineering, analytics engineering, AI, data governance, developer tooling, and the lessons that emerge when technology meets real-world constraints.

Sarah Kundla has always been curious about people: how we communicate, how we learn, and how our experiences and environments shape the way we see the world. That curiosity grew through years of teaching, facilitating, and living and working across cultures, where she saw firsthand how differently people can approach the same conversation, relationship, or challenge.

Today, Sarah is the founder of Questing Insight, where she turns that curiosity into practical learning experiences focused on emotional intelligence, communication, and leadership development. As a speaker, facilitator, and designer, she blends research with real-world experience and storytelling to help people better understand themselves and the people they work with.

Sarah has trained more than 1,900 professionals across the U.S. and internationally, is a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, and has spoken at conferences including Learn & Lead, WITCON, and CodeMash. At the heart of her work is a simple goal: helping people become more thoughtful about how they communicate, more curious about perspectives beyond their own, and ultimately, better at working with other humans.

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.
